What's wrong?
On the 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire, the adjustable brake pedal is part of the service brake system. When the driver presses the pedal, the system sends an electrical brake activation signal to the brake lights and to equipment connected to a vehicle being towed behind the motorhome. When the pedal is released, that signal is supposed to shut off.
On affected Aspire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks North America chassis, the heavier adjustable foot pedal does not always turn that brake signal off after the service brakes are released. That leaves connected towed equipment receiving a brake command after the motorhome driver has stopped braking. The problem is in the pedal signal behavior, not in normal brake-pad wear or routine brake adjustment.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver should not count on a dashboard alert or a change in brake-pedal feel to identify the problem before the signal stays active.
Who's affected?
Both model years carry the same brake system component.

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?
When towing, a stuck brake activation signal can leave the towed device's brakes engaged after the motorhome service brakes are released. That can drag the towed device and confuse following drivers, increasing crash risk. Schedule the repair before towing again. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Entegra dealer to schedule the free brake-assembly modification that fixes the towed-device brake signal after the motorhome service brakes are released.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V463 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair, especially when towing, because the towed-device brake signal can stay active after the motorhome brakes release.
- Call Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787 with questions before your appointment.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Entegra technician modifies the affected brake assemblies so the brake activation signal for towed devices releases when the motorhome service brakes are released. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Entegra has a general reimbursement plan on file for qualifying owner-paid repairs. If you already paid for a related brake assembly repair before the recall work, ask the service desk how to submit documentation under that plan.
