Summary
Newmar is recalling 409 my 2007-2008 all star, dutch star, ventana, and kountry star diesel pushers motor home chassis. There may be a loose connection between the bus bar and a grid pad due to the pins being slightly smaller diameters after assembly. Electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.
Consequence
Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in- fuel separator.
Remedy
Newmar is working with spartan to repair these motor homes (please see 07V363). The dvec bussmann box will be replaced. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 574-773-7791.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Newmar been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Newmar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
