Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Equipment
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
Trailer hitches
Problem: Newmar is recalling 913 my 2007-2009 all star me, dutch star dp, my 2007-2008 kountry star dp, my 2007 mountain aire dp, and my 2009 dutch aire dp and ventana dp motor homes built on spartan chassis and equipped with putnam hitches. After some period of use, certain trailer hitches may develop stress fractures due to sharp radii and /or tool marking.
Risk: Fractures in the suspect hitches may result in hitch separation, potentially resulting in injury and/or property damage.
Fix: Newmar is working with spartan who will replace the trailer hitch free of charge (please see 08v567). Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
Electrical system:wiring:fuses and circuit breakers
Problem: 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.
Risk: Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in- fuel separator.
Fix: 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.
