The defect
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."
The risk
Damage to the rear brake line can increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
