What's wrong?
The right front brake line on 2013-2014 Roadtrek Rscm motorhomes carries pressurized brake fluid to the front brake assembly. It is supposed to sit secured in its holder, away from hot exhaust parts, so brake pressure reaches the wheel when you press the pedal.
During installation of the coolant lines, the brake line was not seated correctly in its holder on affected motorhomes. That leaves the line close enough to contact the exhaust gas recirculation tube, which routes hot exhaust gas through the engine system. Heat and rubbing at that contact point can damage the brake line and interfere with normal hydraulic braking.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing does not list a reliable symptom for owners to watch for before the brake line is damaged.
Who's affected?
The listed years are 2013 and 2014, with the hydraulic brake system named for each year.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Brake line contact with the EGR tube can wear a hole in the brake line. That reduces braking ability and increases the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall inspection soon so the dealer can check the line and replace it if chafing is found. Repair will be free at any franchised Roadtrek dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Roadtrek Rscm is included in this recall.
- Use Roadtrek's owner notice, mailed January 30, 2014, to confirm the dealer instructions before scheduling service.
- Contact Roadtrek customer service at 1-888-762-3873 if you do not have the notice, and reference recall number 14V005 when you call.
- Schedule the free brake-line inspection and repair that secures the coolant lines and fixes brake-line contact with the EGR tube.
- Avoid hard braking and leave extra following distance until the brake-line inspection and any needed replacement are complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Roadtrek technician secures the coolant lines, checks whether the right front brake line is seated in its holder, and inspects for chafing near the exhaust gas recirculation tube. Brake lines with chafing evidence are replaced. Parts and labor for the recall repair will be free once Roadtrek confirms the dealer remedy is available. Ask the service desk to document the brake line inspection and any line replacement on the repair order.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V005?
Recall 14V005 covers 61 2013-2014 Roadtrek Rscm motorhomes built on a Mercedes Sprinter van chassis. The right front brake line can contact the EGR tube, wear a hole in the line, reduce braking ability, and increase crash risk. Dealers inspect and secure the lines for free.
What should I do if my 2013-2014 Roadtrek Rscm is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome is included in recall 14V005. If it is, contact a Roadtrek dealer and ask for the coolant-line securing and brake-line inspection. Reference recall number 14V005 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the safety defect at no cost. For recall 14V005, Roadtrek dealers secure the coolant lines, inspect for unseated brake lines, and replace brake lines that show chafing free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking ability. In recall 14V005, the right front brake line can rub against the EGR tube, wear through, and create a brake-fluid leak path. That loss of braking performance increases crash risk, so confirm your VIN and schedule the free dealer repair.
What if I bought my Roadtrek Rscm used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. If you never received Roadtrek's notice, check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2013-2014 Rscm is included, then call a Roadtrek dealer with recall number 14V005.
