What's wrong?
The battery compartment on 2015-2016 Triple E Unity motorhomes sits under the entrance step and holds the motorhome battery away from the living area. That compartment is supposed to be sealed where it meets the interior floor, so battery gases stay contained and vented away from people inside the coach.
On affected Unity motorhomes, that seal was missing at the floor flange, the edge where the battery compartment meets the floor structure. Without the caulking seal, gases from the battery compartment can pass through that opening and enter the motorhome interior instead of staying isolated below the step.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the missing seal itself, so an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear change during normal use.
Who's affected?
Covers two Unity model years with the same battery component listed for each.
| 2016 Triple E Unity | battery |
|---|---|
| 2015 Triple E Unity | battery |
| Units affected | 246 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Explosive battery gases entering the motorhome increase the risk of a fire. Until the battery compartment is sealed, use caution around the battery area and arrange the recall repair promptly. The dealer seals the compartment to keep gases out of the living space. Repair is free at any franchised Triple E dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Triple E Unity is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Triple E dealer to schedule the free battery-compartment sealing repair that keeps battery gases out of the motorhome.
- Bring the recall notice if Triple E mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V570 when you call.
- Avoid open flames or sparks near the entrance-step battery compartment until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triple E technician seals the battery compartment under the entrance step so battery gases cannot enter the motorhome cabin. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Triple E has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who paid out of pocket before the recall notice. Ask Triple E customer service or the service desk how to submit documentation for covered battery compartment sealing repairs.
