Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2022 Newmar Dutch Star Class A Motorhome in Canada.
On a small number of motorhomes, the driver and/or passenger-side seat base(s) may not have been properly welded. As a result, the seat(s) could move or detach in a crash.
A seat that moves or detaches could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome to an authorized service facility to inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver and/or passenger-side seat base(s).
On certain motorhomes, a software problem in the vehicle control module (ICM) could cause a sudden loss of power. If this happens, the engine, head lamps and/or windshield wipers could suddenly shut off.
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loss of headlights and/or windshield wipers could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your motorhome to a Shyft Group service center to reprogram the vehicle control module (ICM) software.
On certain motorhomes, the service valve (main shutoff) for the propane tank may be defective. As a result, the connector may not seal properly and could leak propane.
A propane gas leak could create the risk of a fire or explosion.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealership to perform a leak test and inspect the date code on the service valve. It will be replaced, if necessary. Newmar recommends that you should shut off the service valve (main shutoff) on the propane tank until your motorhome is inspected.
On a small number of motorhomes, an incorrect fuel hose may have been installed on the heater. As a result, the fuel hose could develop a leak. Note: This recall only affects certain motorhomes equipped with an International Thermal Research powered heater system.
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your motorhome to a dealership inspect the fuel hose on the heater and replace it, as necessary.
Under certain conditions, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not display the current tire pressure and temperature on the instrument panel's information center. Instead, it could incorrectly display a temperature and pressure that is much higher than the normal range. This could cause confusion about the actual tire pressure. Driving a vehicle with tires that are not properly inflated could cause poor handling and/or a tire failure. Note: The TPMS warning telltale will continue to function as designed and will alert you if the tire pressure is too low. This recall only affects motorhome chassis equipped with a SpartanLync tire pressure monitoring system. This recall is part of FL-935 (Transport Canada recall 2022-276).
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to update the TPMS control module software. Additionally, a longer TPMS antenna mounting bracket will be installed on certain motorhomes.
Certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis could have a problem with the rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM). This could cause the tail lights not to work properly. Note: This recall replaces FL-856 (Transport Canada recall 2020-336). Motorhomes that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Brake lights or turn signals that do not work could cause a following driver not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to schedule a repair. The service facility will install a new wiring harness bypass.
On certain motorhomes, the wiring under the front seats may not be properly secured. As a result, the wiring could be damaged when the seat is moved. If this happens, the wiring could short circuit.
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your motorhome to a dealership to inspect the wiring under the front seats. The wiring will be protected and secured, as required. The dealer will also make changes to the circuit protection.
On a small number of motorhomes, the upper nut/bolt connecting the steering column may not have been properly tightened. If the nut comes loose and falls off, you could lose steering control.
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your motorhome to a dealership to inspect and tighten the upper and lower nuts/bolts on the steering column, as necessary.
