What's wrong?
The brake light switch on 2007-2010 Triple E Rv Commander motor homes is the switch that tells the rear stop lamps to turn on when you press the brake pedal. Those lamps are the signal behind the motor home that braking has started. During a normal stop, even a light pedal press should send a steady brake signal to drivers behind you.
On affected Commander motor homes, the stop lamps do not always work during light brake applications. The issue is tied to the brake light switch circuit, so a gentle press of the pedal can leave the rear stop lamps intermittent instead of steady. Harder braking can still feel normal to the driver, but the outside signal is not dependable during the lighter pedal inputs used in traffic or slow maneuvering.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver cannot see the rear stop lamps from the seat, so the defect can be present without any change in pedal feel or dashboard behavior.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the stop lamps fail to show braking, drivers behind the vehicle lose the normal brake-light cue. That raises crash risk without warning. Leave extra room, avoid sudden stops, and schedule service promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Triple E Rv dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2010 Triple E Rv Commander is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner notice, which was scheduled for May 31, 2011, and keep it with the motor home records.
- Contact Triple E Rv or DTNA at 1-800-547-0712 to confirm the free repair path for the brake-light switch issue.
- Reference recall number 11V263 when you call, and ask whether DTNA recall 10V-178 applies to the chassis repair.
- Avoid light brake applications when safe to do so until the repair is complete, since the stop lamps do not always show that the brakes are applied.
What happens at the repair
Triple E Rv says the chassis repair is handled through DTNA dealerships, free of charge. The final remedy is not listed as available yet, so do not treat this as a repair that can be scheduled before Triple E Rv or DTNA opens the dealer process. Once available, the dealer repair will address the intermittent stop lamp operation during light brake use. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ask the dealer to connect this repair with DTNA recall campaign 10V-178 so the chassis work is handled under the correct program.
