Each week the Personal Injury Law Offices of d’Oliviera & Associates compiles a summary of recalls, FDA warnings, market withdrawals and safety alerts that they feel the public should be aware of for their safety and so that they can make informed decisions.

Here are 35 recalls to be aware of this week.

Utility/Recreational Vehicles & Automotive Accessories
  • Entegra Coach is recalling 109 model year 2019 Vision and Emblem motorhomes. The windshield wiper system motor may fail when being operated in heavy snow or ice situations, thereby reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

  • American Custom Golf Cars (ACG) is recalling 72 model year 2016-2017 ACG Moke low speed vehicles. The vehicles may be missing the rear side red reflectors, reducing the vehicle’s visibility to other drivers. If the rear side red reflectors are missing, the vehicle may have reduced visibility to drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
  • Keystone RV Company is recalling 313 model year 2018 Keystone Montana fifth-wheel trailers. The switch for the slide-out room may not have circuit-protection. Without circuit protection, if the slide-out switch wiring shorts to ground, there would be an increased risk of a fire.
  • Keystone RV Company is recalling 95 model year 2019 Keystone Cougar fifth-wheel trailers, models 28GS and 27RLS.
