2002 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE Recalls (4)
- Campaign:
- 02V018007 on 09/11/2002
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 09/02/2001 - 10/25/2001
- Affected:
- 196
- Defect:
- On certain motorhomes equipped with arvinmeritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (abs) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly.
- Consequence:
- Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. if air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact arvinmeritor wabco at 1-859-746-5956 or newmar at 574-773-7791.
- Notes:
- Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

- Component:
- Suspension:front:control arm
- Manufactured:
- 12/13/2000 - 09/03/2002

- Defect:
- On certain motorhomes equipped with tuthill independent front suspensions, the defect is insufficient tightening torque of the steering knuckle carrier bolt that may result in separation of the steering knuckle from one of the control arms.

- Correction:
- Tuthill will notify its customers and provide a retrofit kit p/n k704627 free of charge. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact tuthill transport technologies at 800-225-7824 (ext. #390), spartan at 517-543-6400, or newmar at 574-773-7791.
