Manufacturer Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc.
Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Potential Number of Units Affected 291
Sofa Installation Damaged Brake Line/FMVSS 105;106
Damage to the rear brake line can increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Summary
Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Roadtrek Zion motorhomes equipped with a side-facing sofa. Installation of the sofa may have resulted in damage to the vehicle’s rear brake line, possibly reducing braking performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, “Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems,” and number 106, “Brake Hoses.”
Remedy
Erwin Hymer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lines and the sofa bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2018. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-800-663-0066. Erwin Hymer’s number for this recall is 2018-0012.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
