What's wrong?
The parking brake cable on the 2019 Entegra Esteem is the mechanical link between the parking brake control and the brake mechanism that holds the motorhome still when it is parked. When the system works correctly, setting the parking brake tightens the cable and applies the brake so the vehicle resists rolling after the service brake pedal is released.
On affected Esteem motorhomes, a substituted parking brake cable was installed with cable ends smaller than the correct part. Those undersized ends do not hold in place as designed. The cable can disconnect from the brake mechanism, leaving the parking brake unable to engage even when the control is set.
There is no warning sign before failure. The parking brake control can feel normal until the cable end disconnects, so an owner would not have a clear signal that the parking brake is no longer holding the motorhome.

Not every 2019 Entegra Esteem motorhome is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the parking brake is not engaged, the vehicle can move unintentionally, especially when parked on an incline. That movement increases the risk of a crash. Set the parking brake every time you park, and use extra care on hills until the cable is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Entegra Esteem is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Entegra dealer to schedule the free parking-brake-cable replacement for the undersized cable ends that let the cable disconnect.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra mailed one, and reference recall number 19V175 and Entegra recall 9903428 when you call.
- Avoid parking on an incline until the repair is complete, since the emergency brake is unable to hold the motorhome when the cable disconnects.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Entegra technician replaces the parking brake cable covered by recall 19V175. The cable ends were built too small, so the cable can disconnect and keep the emergency brake from engaging. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Entegra has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for a parking brake cable repair tied to this defect, ask Entegra customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation for reimbursement.
