The RV had been driven about 20,000 miles and had about 250 accumulated hours on the onboard ONAN 4000 generator. I performed an oil change and did a test run of the generator when I happened to notice major generator tail pipe movement particularly during the start operation but which also continued during normal run operations. So I began to investigate and discovered that the tail pipe suspension mount nearest the exhaust point had become separated from the body of the coach but was still attached to the exhaust pipe. The mount was attac…
Service Advance Trac System warning light illuminated while driving about 60 MPH in gusty wind. Cruise Control and Hill Assist became inop. This happened twice on one 500 mile trip, both times in windy conditions. Both times, after shutting off engine for a few minutes, no warning light and all systems functioned normally again. Reading motorhome forums, this seems to be a common problem with Ford E Series and F53 chassis motorhomes of various brands. I haven't read any conclusive fix for the problem. I do see that Ford has a service bulletin, …
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Greyhawk, Greyhawk Pestige, Redhawk, Redhawk SE, Odyssey, and Esteem motorhomes. The mounting brackets for the leveling system hydraulic pump and reservoir may fail, allowing the components to contact the ground.
Consequence: Contact with the ground may cause the pump and reservoir to detach or leak hydraulic fluids, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install a new support bracket, free of charge. The recall began February 3, 2021. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903528.

The contact owns a 2025 Entegra Esteem Motorhome. The contact stated that after stopping and inspecting the RV, it was discovered that the rear passenger’s side wheel simulator cover had ejected from the motorhome. The following day, while driving approximately 65 MPH, the front passenger’s side wheel simulator cover ejected from the motorhome. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 3,000.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
