Entegra Accolade Problems by year

The contact owns a 2023 Entegra Coach Accolade built on a 2022 Ford F-600 SD Chassis. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the hot water heater detached from the chassis and bounced around the electric and gas component. There was no support for the water heater, causing the water heater to detach from the sheet metal mount. The contact was concerned about a fire due to the failure. The manufacturer of the RV was contacted by phone on several occasions and emails were sent. The RV was repaired by the Service Center. The failure mileage was approximately 7,400.

The contact owns a 2020 Freightliner M2. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 - 15 MPH and pulling out of the parking lot, the rear passenger's side window above the kitchen sink started detaching from the vehicle. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the window detached from the vehicle. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V337000 (Visibility), and linked the failure to the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

The mud flaps installed in front of the rear wheels were only fastened at the outer side of the mud flap. The metal subframe has holes for fasteners, however, there is NO evidence that ANY fasteners have ever been attached on the top of the mud flap frame to secure it properly. This results in the mud flaps swinging in and rubbing against the inner tire on both sides of the vehicle. Based on the draft under the vehicle this rubbing can be relatively constant at highway speed. Our vehicle has approximately 18,000...

The mirrors do not extend out far enough to adequately see down the sides of the vehicle. You mostly see the flat part of the rv that juts out before it makes the turn down the side. In my research which has been a conversation on-line with a few other owners. One owner made the comment that some of these Ford F600's come with short mirrors and others that have extended arms. The comment was there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why that's the way it is. One owner went and bought the Ford oem extended arm mirrors. $500 each out of his own pocket. I do intend to contact Entegra. This for sure is an accident waiting to happen.

The contact owns a 2021 Entegra Accolade RV. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the coach was flexing abnormally. The contact heard abnormal popping sounds from where the coach was attached to the RV cockpit. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the RV to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the screws used to attach the coach to the cockpit were undersized and needed to be replaced. The RV was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

The receiver hitch for trailering is experiencing abnormal metal fatigue and deformation. The motorhome was factory equipped with a receiver hitch that shows a rating of 12,000 lbs and a 1200 lb tongue weight. I have towed both an enclosed trailer with a max weight of less than 4000lbs and a Jeep Gladiator in the flat tow configuration. The Jeep weighs less than 5000 lbs. With both of these towed vehicles being less than 50% of the receivers' rated capacity, I believe there is a manufacturing defect with the...
