2014 Entegra Aspire

The defect

Entegra Coach is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Anthem, Aspire, and Cornerstone motorhomes manufactured February 8, 2013, through June 13, 2013. The attachment mechanism that holds the windshield wiper arm to the wiper motor shaft could crack.

The risk

If the attachment mechanism cracks, the windshield wiper may separate reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Entegra Coach will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper arms, at no charge. The recall began on August 27, 2013. Owners may contact Entegra Coach at 1-800-945-4787.

The DEF system gave us a false reading and derated the engine to 5 miles per hour. We were able to make it to a repair shop and left it there.
