remote-controlled power shades) and 2016 and 2017 Ventana coaches (4311 floorplan only) may experience remote-controlled power shade failures. MCD has created the attached troubleshooting instructions to diagnose the 14-channel remote and remote motors. If the original remote-controlled motor(s) failed and currently need replacing, the motors and remote(s) will be replaced with a 15-channel remote, new remote control motors, and a two-channel bedroom remote. The driver side ?Sway Shade? will also be replaced as a complete shade. Replace the bezel in the wall to ensure the proper fit of the new 15-channel remote.

Issue: On certain motorhomes, there may be a loose electrical connection to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) that was not properly tightened. If the power connection is loose, it may result in a buildup of heat at the connection, which may increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

issued field service campaign SF546AB. In response, Newmar is publishing PIB 495.

which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in specific motorhomes. NHTSA#: 16V 512 TC#: 2016-376 Issue: On certain motorhomes manufactured by Newmar Corporation, the interior front slideout fascia wood trim has the potential to separate from the slideout.

defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in specific motor homes built on Freightliner chassis. This recall is the result of information provided to Newmar by Daimler Trucks North America. NHTSA# 16V 481 TC# 2016-324 Issue: On certain motor homes manufactured by Newmar Corporation, the windshield wiper system is not operating as designed and has the potential to produce four separate issues. 1) The wiper arm may not park in the same location every time. 2) In high torque conditions such as a dry windshield, the wiper motor can stall. 3) When the wipers are turned on for any reason other than wash, the headlights would turn off when the wipers were turned off. 4) There are conditions where the wiper controls would put the motor in high with the first press of the Hi/Lo button where it should always go to low after a key cycle. If the wiper system is not performing correctly it could potentially increase the loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash.

equipped with an Independent Front Suspension supplied by Reyco Granning. These chassis were built between January 17, 2016, and March 16, 2017. In response, Newmar Corporation is publishing PIB 489. Issue: A condition exists where some bleeder assemblies may leak power steering fluid.

In response, Newmar Corporation is publishing the following recall: NHTSA #17V 195 TC #2017-162. Issue: On certain motorhomes, the ball joints on the independent front suspension may be loose. If not detected, the loose ball joints could separate over time. This could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

has decided that a condition exists where the power steering pumps may be equipped with an incorrectly sized orifice. Spartan Motors USA, Inc. made the decision to issue a Campaign Service Bulletin, CSB17-260-001, for certain 2017 model year K2 motor home chassis built between August 22, 2016, and October 5, 2016.

has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in specific motor homes built on Spartan chassis. In response, Newmar Corporation is publishing a recall: NHTSA #16V 810 TC #2016-543. On certain motorhomes, wires in the throttle circuit were not shielded properly during manufacturing. This could result in an incorrect throttle setting above or below the commanded throttle setting/input, which may result in a loss of throttle or inadvertent acceleration of the throttle. This condition, depending on the driver's reaction and traffic conditions, may increase the risk of a crash and/or property damage.

NHTSA# 16V 773 TC# 2016-523 Issue: On certain motorhomes, the wardrobe slide out motor may have been installed without a brake. If the motor does not have a brake installed, the slideout could move, increasing the risk of an injury and/or property damage.

built on Freightliner chassis (NHTSA #: 16V809). In response, Newmar has filed recall NHTSA #: 16V826 and TC #: 2016-559. On the affected motorhomes, a rubber-coated braided power steering hose may have inadequate clearance to the starter power stud due to incorrect routing. The power steering hose may rub against the stud on the starter motor, which may cause an electrical arc and a power steering fluid leak. A power steering leak in the presence of an electrical arc may increase the risk of fire or may require additional steering effort, increasing the risk of a crash.

THIS RECALL IS THE RESULT OF INFORMATION PROVIDED TO NEWMAR BY DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. NHTSA# 16V 481 TC# 2016-324 ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED BY NEWMAR CORPORATION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE FOUR SEPARATE ISSUES. 1) THE WIPER ARM MAY NOT PARK IN THE SAME LOCATION EVERY TIME. 2) IN HIGH TORQUE CONDITIONS SUCH AS A DRY WINDSHIELD, THE WIPER MOTOR CAN STALL. 3) WHEN THE WIPERS ARE TURNED ON FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN WASH, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE WIPERS WERE TURNED OFF. 4) THERE ARE CONDITIONS WHERE THE WIPER CONTROLS WOULD PUT THE MOTOR IN HIGH WITH THE FIRST PRESS OF THE HI/LO BUTTON WHERE IT SHOULD ALWAYS GO TO LOW AFTER A KEY CYCLE. IF THE WIPER SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING CORRECTLY IT COULD POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH.

IF THE FASCIA TRIM SEPARATES FROM THE SLIDEOUT IT COULD POSSIBLY MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH OR INJURY/DAMAGE. THIS COMMUNICATION INCLUDES REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECALL 16V 512.

IF THE FASCIA SEPERATES FROM THE SLIDEOUT IT COULD POSSIBILY DAMAGE THE FASCIA OR SURROUNDING COMPONENTS.

In most cases, the 10 amp fuse installed by the factory is sufficient. However, some coaches equipped with a ShurFlo water pump (Newmar part # 127488) blow the 10 amp water pump fuse.

with the 4525 floorplan equipped with a 85,000 BTU Oasis NES hydronic heating system, the hydronic heating system fuse and wiring may be undersized. Issue: The fuse may blow due to overload.
