Campaign:
16V252000 on 04/27/2016
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
Manufactured:
03/26/2013 - 10/15/2015
Affected:
1,150
Defect:
Newmar corporation (newmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 dutch star, mountain aire, essex, and 2015-2016 london aire vehicles manufactured march 27, 2013, to october 16, 2015 and built on a freightliner chassis. on certain recreational vehicles built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the service brakes are released.
Consequence:
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. as a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Newmar will notify owners, and freightliner dealers will modify the affected assemblies, free of charge. the recall began on may 26, 2016. owners may contact freightliner/daimler trucks north america llc at 1-800-547-0712 or newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. newmar's number for this recall is 16v-204.

Manufactured:

Affected:
93
Defect:
Newmar corporation (newmar) recalling certain model year 2014-2015 essex, and 2015 mountain aire and london aire motorhomes manufactured from may 20, 2013, through april 09, 2015. these vehicles are built on freightliner rear engine chassis that have 18,000lb or 20,000lb-capacity front axles. in these motorhomes, the power steering fluid temperature may exceed the power steering hose material rating, subsequently causing the hoses to fail, resulting in a sudden loss of power steering.
Consequence:
Loss of power steering assist would result in increased difficulty to steer the vehicle in either direction at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Newmar will notify owners, and freightliner dealers will replace the power steering hose with a higher temperature rated one, free of charge. the recall began on june 15, 2016. owners may contact freightliner customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. newmar's number for this recall is 16v-121.

Consequence:
A sudden loss of an engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to a reduced brake capacity, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
