| Defect Summary | Newmar is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. the population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. the response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Newmar is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 dutch star and 2009-2010 dutch aire motorhomes, built on a spartan chassis equipped with a hendrickson independent front suspension. the front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to prevent the full release of the brakes. if the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | As the brakes heat up, they may self-engage, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Spartan motors will notify owners and repair the vehicles. the manufacturer has not provided a notification schedule. owners may contact newmar corporation at 1-574-773-7791. | |||||||||||||||
