What's wrong?
The accelerator pedal on 2017 Entegra Cornerstone, Anthem, Aspire, and Insignia motorhomes sends an electrical throttle signal to the engine controls. That signal tells the Spartan Motors chassis how much power the driver is asking for. The throttle circuit wires are supposed to be twisted together so nearby electrical noise cancels out before it changes the signal.
On affected motorhomes, those throttle circuit wires were not twisted as intended. That leaves the signal vulnerable to electromagnetic interference from electrical components around the chassis. The interference can make the throttle signal read higher or lower than the driver requested, so engine response no longer matches pedal position.
An owner is not given a reliable symptom before this happens. There is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
Scope spans four Entegra motorhome lines from the 2017 model year, with accelerator pedal and wiring components listed for each line.

A matching 2017 Entegra model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Unintended deceleration or acceleration can raise crash risk because the coach changes speed when the driver did not command it. This failure can happen without warning. If the vehicle speeds up or slows down unexpectedly, pull over when safe and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Entegra Cornerstone, Anthem, Aspire, or Insignia is included in this recall.
- Contact an Entegra dealer or Spartan service center to schedule the free overlay-harness repair that stabilizes the throttle signal wires.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V827 when you call.
- Drive carefully until the repair is complete, and leave extra space because throttle response can be higher or lower than intended.
What happens at the repair
At the service center, an Entegra technician installs an overlay harness with twisted wires so the throttle circuit is protected from electromagnetic interference. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Entegra has a reimbursement plan on file for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related throttle circuit repair should bring documentation and prior repair paperwork to the service desk or contact Entegra customer service for claim instructions.
