Manufacturer: Entegra Coach

SUMMARY:

Entegra Coach is recalling certain model year 2013 Aspire Class A motorhomes manufactured April 11, 2012, through August 30, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the Certification label incorrectly identifies the size of the tires on the rear axles. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

CONSEQUENCE:

An inaccurate label could lead to installation of improper replacement tires which may cause vehicle overloading which could lead to a tire failure resulting in personal injury or property damage.

REMEDY:

Entegra Coach will notify owners and dealers will replace the Certification label. The recall is expected to begin during January 2013. Owners may contact Entegra Coach at 1-800-945-4787.
