Summary

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Super Star and Supreme Aire motor homes built on Freightliner M2 chassis. The tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel may come into contact with the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged.

 

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and the replace the valve stem extension as necessary, and install a valve stem extension stabilizer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 25, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

 


REASON FOR THIS RECALL

Newmar Corporation has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in specific motorhomes built on Freightliner M2 Chassis.
On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner M2 Chassis, a problem with the tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel contacting the outer wheel rim opening, potentially damaging the valve stem extension, which could result in a loss of air pressure in the inner tire. This could increase the risk of a crash.

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

 

The Safety Risk

Damage to the inner wheel valve stem extension could result in a loss of air pressure in the inner tire. This could increase the risk of a crash.

 

WHAT WE WILL DO

Newmar Corp. will provide owners of all affected motorhomes a remedy for the potential defect at no charge for parts or labor. The inner valve stem extension will be inspected for damage and replaced with a new valve stem extension if damaged. All units will have a valve stem extension grommet/stabilizer installed to prevent the valve stem extension from contacting the outer wheel rim. The total expected time for repair is .4 hrs per axle. However, due to scheduling times the service provider may need the vehicle longer.

 


Chronology :

Newmar Corporation is reporting this recall following an initial warranty claim on 11/2/2021 resulting in a unit with potential valve stem extension problem. After more research an additional six units were identified with a potential valve stem extension problem. Newmar then discussed the issue at our company safety meeting where the decision was made to reach out to NHSTA for an opinion on the matter. NHSTA was contacted 01/21/2022 and after this discussion with NHSTA it was decided that a recall would be issued for this potential valve stem extension issue.
