What's wrong?
The park brake on the 2019 Entegra Insignia, Aspire, and Anthem motorhomes is part of the air brake system. Its job is to hold the motorhome in place after the driver stops, shifts into park or neutral, and sets the brake. On a heavy motorhome, that holding force matters most when the coach is parked on a grade.
On affected motorhomes built on a Spartan chassis, the park brake system does not meet the required holding performance. When the vehicle is parked on an incline, the brake system does not reliably prevent unintended movement. The issue is tied to the chassis park brake system, not to normal pedal braking while driving.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear a noise, feel a pedal change, or see a dashboard warning before the parked motorhome moves.
Who's affected?
Each listed Entegra model is tied to the same brake system component.
| 2019 Entegra Insignia | brake system |
|---|---|
| 2019 Entegra Aspire | brake system |
| 2019 Entegra Anthem | brake system |
| Units affected | 251 |
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?
Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash. If the motorhome moves when you expect it to stay still, keep people clear and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Entegra Insignia, Aspire, or Anthem is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Entegra dealer or Spartan Service Center to schedule the free rear brake chamber replacement that addresses unintended movement when parked on a grade.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra or Spartan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V687 when you call.
- Park on level ground and confirm the parking brake is set until the repair is complete.
- Avoid parking on grades before the repair, since the park brake system can allow the motorhome to move unintentionally.
What happens at the repair
At the service center, an Entegra technician replaces the rear brake chambers covered by the recall. The replacement parts and labor are free. Because this recall has an available remedy, schedule service through an Entegra dealer or the listed service center and ask them to confirm the brake chamber parts before the appointment. Entegra has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you've paid out of pocket for the same brake chamber repair, bring your repair paperwork and receipts to the service desk for review under that plan.
