    Itasca Ellipse recalls

    • Recall 24V733000Oct 1, 202417,329 vehiclesModel years 2013–2017

      Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.

    • Recall 16V385000May 31, 2016306 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

      Risk: The steering wheel's connection to the front axle could fail resulting in a sudden loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

    • Recall 16V238000Apr 25, 201656 vehiclesModel years 2014

      Risk: If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.

    • Recall 12V566000Dec 6, 20121,521 vehiclesModel years 2010–2013

      Risk: Failure of the cruise control to disengage when the brakes are applied may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Without the brake lights illuminating when the brakes are applied, the driver's intent is not communicated, increasing the risk of a crash.

    • Recall 11V156000Mar 8, 201125 vehiclesModel years 2011

      Risk: The leaking lp then has the potential to ignite, which could result in personal injury or death.

      Risk: These vehicles do not comply with the requirements of part 567 certification.

    • Recall 10V525000Oct 26, 201018,461 vehiclesModel years 2005–2011

      Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
