What is wrong
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2010 Dutch Star motorhomes manufactured May 13, 2009, to April 14, 2010, 2010 Dutch Aire motorhomes manufactured May 12, 2009, to February 8, 2010, and 2012-2013 King Aire motorhomes manufactured March 22, 2011, to May 17, 2013. The affected vehicles are built on a Spartan Motors chassis and have a flexible exhaust tube that may tear allowing hot exhaust to blow against other components or materials.
What could happen
If hot exhaust gas contacts other components or materials, it can increase the risk of a fire.

Newmar will notify owners, and Spartan dealers will install a new exhaust tube, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2015. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-4277. Newmar's number for this recall is 15V-554.
