Recall 15V492000
Suspension › Rear — Newmar · reported 5 Aug 2015 · 82 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Essex and King Aire vehicles manufactured March 7, 2014, to June 15, 2015, and 2016 Mountain Aire vehicles manufactured March 9, 2015, to June 5, 2015. The control module for the air suspension may experience a loss of power resulting in the air suspension not being able to achieve ride height.
The risk
If the ride height of the suspension is less than specified ride height the vehicle may be difficult to control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Newmar will notify owners and Spartan Motors will repair the motor homes free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2015. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
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.safercar.gov.
Vehicles covered by this recall
