Recall 18V077 affects 393 2015-2018 Entegra Insignia and Aspire motorhomes for an undersized air brake reservoir. Spartan service centers replace it for free.
Entegra is recalling 393 2015-2018 Aspire and Insignia motorhomes because the air brake supply reservoir is too small for the service brake system. During repeated brake use, the reservoir can leave too little air to operate the brakes properly, reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk; Entegra dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The air brake supply reservoir on 2015-2018 Entegra Insignia and Aspire motorhomes is the storage tank that holds compressed air for the service brakes. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake system uses that stored air to apply braking force at the wheels. The reservoir has to hold enough air volume for repeated brake applications.
On these motorhomes, the supply reservoir installed with the Spartan chassis is too small for the combined volume of all service brake chambers. The recalled reservoir holds 500 cubic inches. The remedy reservoir holds 1000 cubic inches. Because the tank capacity is below the required ratio for the brake chambers, the system does not meet the federal air brake standard for this chassis.
Spartan did not state a driver-visible symptom before the problem. There is no warning sign before failure.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific motorhome.
What's the safety risk?
An undersized air brake supply reservoir can leave too little air available during repeated brake use. That reduces braking performance and increases crash risk. Spartan did not state a warning sign, so schedule the repair soon and avoid repeated braking demands until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2018 Entegra Insignia or Aspire is included in this recall.
- Contact Entegra customer service or a Spartan service center to schedule the free air-supply-reservoir replacement that restores brake air supply for repeated brake applications.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V077 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid repeated hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the service center, an Entegra technician replaces the current air supply reservoir with a larger reservoir that has twice the air capacity. The replacement is free under the recall, including parts and labor. Entegra has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for a brake reservoir repair tied to this recall, ask Entegra customer service how to submit documentation for reimbursement under that plan.
