Electrical System · reported Mar 30, 2026
There was previously a recall on the power distribution modules on these Chassis the recall was insufficient, and these PMs continue to fail. This is a very much a safety hazard as the PDM controls lights as well as the electric fan clutch, which can cause the engine to overheat leaving you stranded on the road also it can cause lights to fail and the operator does not know they have failed. The issue tends to be intermittent in nature and very difficult to diagnose. I have contacted freightliner directly about this issue and they were of no help. This issue is all over the Internet and I’ve…
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 28, 2023
The Back up camera and 360 camera fail frequently. The rear camera video will interminably go blank when backing. It will also sometimes change to the front view camera view which almost caused an accident in heavy freeway traffic because I thought I lost my trailer. I have had to replace 3 camera in 3 years and both Newmar and the camera manufacture Riverpark/Xicte have no solutions. Now the latest is to start replacing cables. The is a well known problem among RV owners.

I made it to Littleton, Colorado, 25 miles south of Fredrick when the engine derated to around 5…

For no reason started getting codes for low D.E.F and then buzzers and finally engine light for engine derate. Called Spartan, which is the chassis manufacture. Was told that the they were having a lot of problems with the DEF head and to leave it in a safe place because replacement parts were not available. Stated it could be 1 to 2 months before a part would be available. I was over 700 miles from home and not very happy about leaving a half million dollar motorhome in the middle of no where.
