Summary
Newmar is recalling 63 model year 2009 and 2010 recreational vehicles manufactured between July 21, 2008 and April 22, 2009, equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Consequence
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Newmar will notify owners and spartan will provide a free remedy. The safety recall is expected to begin during July 2009. Owners may contact spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-4277 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
Notes
Owners 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.

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.
