Hymer Aktiv: Engine and engine cooling — manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe

Affects Hymer Aktiv · 2016–2018 — about 195 vehicles.

The hazard

The exhaust heat can melt the taillight wiring, causing the tail light not to function, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the exhaust heat can burn anyone that contacts the bumper cover immediately after the vehicle has been operated.

What to do

Erwin Hymer has notified owners, and dealers will install a new tailpipe that redirects the exhaust down, away from the bumper area, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2017. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735.
