Consequence:
Failure of the connection may result in a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Newmar will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began on august 2, 2010. owners may contact newmar at 1-800-731-8300.

Defect:
Newmar is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. the population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. the response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Consequence:
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Correction:
Newmar is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. the safety recall began on march 28, 2011. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.

Campaign:
12V467000 on 09/24/2012
Component:
Suspension:front:control arm
Manufactured:
01/21/2007 - 04/04/2010
Affected:
278
Defect:
Newmar is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 dutch star and 2009-2010 dutch aire motorhomes, built on a spartan chassis equipped with a hendrickson independent front suspension. the front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to prevent the full release of the brakes. if the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further.
Consequence:
As the brakes heat up, they may self-engage, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Spartan motors will notify owners and repair the vehicles. the manufacturer has not provided a notification schedule. owners may contact newmar corporation at 1-574-773-7791.
