The defect
REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2016-2019 American Coach American Eagle and 2016 American Heritage motorhomes equipped with factory-installed rear air deflectors. The center mounting plate for the rear air deflector may have been installed incorrectly with screws that may loosen, possibly resulting in the air deflector detaching from the vehicle.
The risk
If the rear air deflector detaches from the motorhome, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
REV will notify owners, and dealers will properly secure the rear air deflector to the fiberglass cap with rivets, free of charge. The recall began August 30, 2019. Owners may contact REV customer service 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 190709REV.
