Recall 22V-234: Seats

Reported Apr 11, 2022 · 4,961 vehicles affected · Newmar Corporation

The wiring under the seats may be incorrectly secured, which can lead to a pinched wire in the seat adjustment mechanism and cause an electrical short circuit.

Risk: A short circuit increases the risk of a fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and secure the wiring, adding circuit breaker and fuse protection as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 10, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar's customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

Unknown or Other · reported Aug 26, 2026

The dash screen is bubbling/delaminatimg and is making it difficult to read the screen. The problem started off small and is growing into the speedometer. At the moment it is across the bottom center of the dash, over an inch tall. Vehicle was stored May 31, checked on. First noticed the issue on Aug 20 when leaving tire center after having valve stems and tires checked.

Visibility · reported Jul 9, 2025

On June15, 2025, the passengerâs side vent window glass partially delaminated from the actuator assembly while driving, damaging the actuator and window glass. The front passenger window has never sealed properly since we purchased the RV new. Newmar was notified of this in August 2021, when the coach was returned to Nappanee, IN for warranty repairs. After the window failure, I discovered that Lippert/Newmar issued an NHTSA Recall for these windows on September 8, 2021. The recall notes the issue as being: âthe adhesive that bonds the vented portion of the window may fail. Adhesive…

Wheels · reported Jan 15, 2024

The integrated Tire Pressure Monitoring System in this vehicle has never functioned correctly since it was purchased new in October, 2020. The system either drops connection fully, drops various tires on the coach, or randomly alarms for extreme high/low temperature and pressure. In August of 2021, the vehicle was driven 1600 miles to Newmarâs factory in Indiana for warranty repairs. The TPMS was on that list. Newmar disavowed all warranty responsibility for the system and its failures, and directed us to Freightliner. The RV has been returned to Doggett Freightliner in El Paso, TX multiple…

Wheels · reported Nov 22, 2022

The Valor TPMS system on the Freightliner chassis has not worked correctly for as long as I have owned the coach. I was hopeful that recent recall work performed by a Freightliner service center on the system would help but it actually made the system worse. As was prior to the recall work several of the sensors still fail to report their pressures completely, others report only sporadically. This essentially renders the system useless as the driver may not be made aware of a loss of tire pressure while driving. Additionally, since the recall work was performed, a high pressure warning now…

Unknown or Other · at 2,000 miles · reported Jul 8, 2020

The TPMS system incorrectly reports tire temperatures falsely and does not report air pressure. Temperatures in excess of 400 degrees f are commonly reported. This is a widely know issue within newmar and their dealer networks for rv's built on the freightliner chassis. Consumer stated manufacturer has no idea when it would be repaired.
