Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc.: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jan 13, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 61. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. (Roadtrek) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 RSCM motorhomes manufactured February 14, 2013, through December 20, 2013 on a Mercedes Sprinter van chassis. During installation of the coolant lines, the right front brake line may have been unseated from the brake line holder allowing the brake line to contact the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube.
The risk
Brake line contact with the EGR tube could result in a hole in the brake line, reducing braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Roadtrek will notify owners, and dealers will secure the coolant lines and inspect for unseated brakes lines. Brake lines that show evidence of chafing will be replaced. The recall began on January 30, 2014. Customers may contact Roadtrek at 1-888-762-3873.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V005000.
