2006 Newmar Ventana DP recalls
Recall 11V-235: Equipment
Problem: Newmar is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Fix: Newmar is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on march 28, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
Recall 08V-427: Steering
Problem: 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.
Risk: Loss of power steering assist would effectively increase the steering effort required and could lead to loss of vehicle control.
Fix: 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.
