Recall 09V-254: 2009 Newmar ALL Star ME, 2009 Newmar Dutch Aire DP and 5 more
NEWMAR CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Jul 7, 2009, covering about 63 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
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.
