Defect SummaryCertain class a and diesel pusher motor homes and fifth wheel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence SummaryRelease of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Corrective SummaryNewmar will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. dometic has retained stericycle inc. to manage this campaign. stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR - SUPPLY - CHECK VALVE
02V018007NEWMAR CORPORATIONfrom 09/03/2001 to 10/26/2001V (Vehicle)196MFRNEWMAR CORPORATION08/15/200209/12/2002
Defect SummaryOn certain motorhomes equipped with arvinmeritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (abs) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly.
Consequence SummaryBolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. if air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact arvinmeritor wabco at 1-859-746-5956 or newmar at 574-773-7791.

Defect SummaryOn certain motorhomes equipped with tuthill independent front suspensions, the defect is insufficient tightening torque of the steering knuckle carrier bolt that may result in separation of the steering knuckle from one of the control arms.
Consequence SummaryShould the steering knuckle carrier separate from the control arm, the operator could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
Corrective SummaryTuthill will notify its customers and provide a retrofit kit p/n k704627 free of charge. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact tuthill transport technologies at 800-225-7824 (ext. #390), spartan at 517-543-6400, or newmar at 574-773-7791.
