2021–2022 Newmar Dutch Star, Newmar Essex, Newmar King Aire +more: Steering recall

NHTSA campaign 22V166000 · 1,277 units potentially affected · filed Mar 17, 2022

What's wrong

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 New Aire, Essex, King Aire, Ventana, Kountry Star, London Aire, Dutch Star and Mountain Aire motorhomes. The upper bolt connecting the steering column may not have been properly tightened, causing the nut to loosen off the bolt, potentially resulting in loss of steering control.

Why it matters

Loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and tighten the upper and lower bolts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 16, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar's 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.nhtsa.gov.
