- The defect
- DRV Suites (DRV) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Elite Suites and Mobile Suites fifth wheel trailers. The brake caliper retaining clips may bend or warp while braking, causing the caliper to become unseated.
- What it can cause
- An unseated brake caliper can cause a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the caliper retaining clips, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 11, 2021. Owners may contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 715 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
DRV vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 2 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V726000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V649000 (exterior lighting), 21V726000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by DRV Suites with NHTSA on September 23, 2021 as campaign 21V733000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
