Service brakes, air:supply:quick release valveJul 7, 2009 · NHTSA campaign 09V254000 · 63 vehicles

Problem: Newmar is recalling 63 model year 2009 and 2010 recreational vehicles manufactured between july 21, 2008 and april 22, 2009, equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.

Risk: Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Newmar will notify owners and spartan will provide a free remedy. The safety recall is expected to begin during july 2009. Owners may contact spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-4277 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.

SteeringJul 25, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V343000 · 64 vehicles

Problem: Newmar is recalling certain motor homes built on spartan motor home chassis. Certain chassis fasteners may fracture resulting in poor handling of the vehicle, loss of steering, and/or reduced level of suspension performance.

Risk: Loss of steering will increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Newmar is working with spartan to have these motor homes inspected and the fasteners replaced as needed free of charge. Owners may contact spartan chassis at 1-800-543-4277 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
