Newmar recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Ventana, and Ventana LE vehicles manufactured March 27, 2015, to February 8, 2016, built on a Freightliner chassis. The front sway bar mounting brackets may not fit properly on the axle causing the mounting bolts to bend or loosen.
What could happen
If the sway bar bolts loosen, the sway bar may detach from the axle, affecting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers for Daimler Trucks, manufacturer of the chassis, will modify the sway bar mounting, free of charge. The recall began on June 14, 2016. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America LLC at 1-800-547-0712, or e-mail them at [email protected] to locate a service center. Owners may also contact the Newmar service department at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 16V 208.
