- Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
- Manufactured:
- 03/26/2013 - 10/15/2015

- 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.
