Component:
Electrical system:fuses and circuit breakers
Affected:
409
Defect:
Newmar is recalling 409 my 2007-2008 all star, dutch star, ventana, and kountry star diesel pushers motor home chassis. there may be a loose connection between the bus bar and a grid pad due to the pins being slightly smaller diameters after assembly. electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.

Newmar is working with spartan to repair these motor homes (please see 07v363). the dvec bussmann box will be replaced. owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 574-773-7791.
