- Refrigerator defect. Recall 10V585000 affects 2,717 vehicles equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. The thermal switch or sensing algorithm may fail to shut off power quickly enough to prevent a fire caused by potential hydrogen gas leaks. Owners will receive a remedy free of charge from Norcold dealers.
- Brake light malfunction. Recall 11V327000 involves 1,309 vehicles where brake lights intermittently fail during light brake application. This defect can increase the risk of a crash by not signaling to following drivers. Daimler Trucks North America will perform free repairs.
- Hydraulic brake issue. Recall 12V327000 covers 1,304 motorhomes with Bosch hydraulic brakes. Extended non-driving periods can cause brake caliper pistons to expand, leading to brake drag and overheating, which reduces braking performance and raises crash risk. Authorized dealers will inspect and replace calipers as needed at no cost.
- Electric step instability. Recall 15V880000 affects 14,889 motorhomes equipped with Coachstep Double and Triple Electric Steps. A fractured bolt may cause fan gear disengagement, making steps unstable and increasing injury risk during entry or exit. Dealers will install retainer brackets and replace linkage assemblies free of charge.
- Windshield wiper arms breakage. Recall 16V532000 includes 10,351 vehicles where wiper arms may break off, impairing driver visibility and increasing crash risk. Dealers will replace faulty wiper blade arms at no charge.
Owners confronting repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consultation with a qualified attorney experienced in lemon law can provide guidance on possible remedies.
