- Summary
- Newmar is recalling 274 my 2005 kountry star diesel pusher, northern star diesel pusher, and my 2006 ventana diesel pusher motor home. Specific inline power steering filters may become plugged, resulting in hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting. This hose separation would result in loss of steering fluid and loss of power steering assist.
- Consequence
- Loss of power steering assist would effectively increase the steering effort required and could lead to loss of vehicle control.
- Remedy
- Newmar is working with daimler trucks and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712 or newmar at 574-773-7791.

- Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.
