Defect description
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Entegra Qwest and Jayco Melbourne and Melbourne Prestige motorhomes built on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid.
Safety risk
Loss of brake fluid can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Jayco will notify owners, and Mercedes Sprinter dealers will inspect and replace the brake hoses, and the fender liners will be modified, free of charge. The recall began July 14, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137.
