Subject: Recall Campaign No.:  20V 594

This notice is sent to you as a Newmar Dealer in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.  Newmar Corporation has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in specific Newmar recreational vehicles.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires that each vehicle, which is subject to a recall campaign of this type, must be satisfactorily repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A failure to adequately repair within 60 days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. To avoid providing these problematic solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each owner and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. Vehicle owners are being notified of this recall. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

 

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

Newmar Corporation has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in specific motorhomes.  

On certain motorhomes, the front leveling jacks may not support the weight of the motorhome due to not being fastened correctly to the chassis. Not having the front jacks fastened correctly may result in an unexpected drop causing injury. Correction: Newmar Dealers will inspect and repair leveling jacks as necessary.

 

The motorhomes require immediate service.  Continued use poses a potential safety hazard.
