2017 Newmar London Aire recalls

Rear lights may fail, raising crash risk
The rear Power Distribution Module (PDM) in certain motorhomes built on a Daimler Trucks chassis may have been damaged during manufacturing.
Loose Brake Caliper Bolts May Reduce Braking and Raise Crash Risk
Brake caliper mounting bolts on certain motorhomes may not have been tightened to the proper specification, so they can loosen over time.
Loose ATS Power Connection Can Overheat and Cause Fire
A loose power connection at the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in certain Newmar motorhomes can cause heat to build up in the wiring.
Fire extinguishers may clog or fail to discharge
Certain Newmar motorhomes are equipped with Kidde plastic-handle or push-button "Pindicator" fire extinguishers that may become clogged, so the extinguisher may not discharge as expected or may require excessive force to activate.
High Beams May Not Light Fully, Reducing Visibility
On certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks chassis, activating the high beams lights only the high beam bulbs when both the high beam and low beam bulbs should illuminate.
Front Ball Joints Can Loosen, Causing Steering Loss
Certain motorhomes built on a Spartan Motors chassis may have front suspension ball joints on the independent front suspension (IFS) modules that can loosen and separate.
Unintended Acceleration or Deceleration Risk From Throttle Wiring
Certain motorhomes built on Spartan Motors chassis have throttle circuit wires that may not be twisted to cancel out electromagnetic interference.
Entry Steps May Retract Unexpectedly, Risking Falls
Certain 2017 Newmar Essex, King Aire, and London Aire motorhomes built between December 9, 2015 and September 26, 2016 have a hydraulic entry step controller that may not work as designed.
Power steering can cut out, raising crash risk
This recall covers certain 2017 Newmar motorhomes (King Aire, Essex, London Aire and Mountain Aire) built between May 12 and August 23, 2016 on a Spartan Motors chassis.
Loose Front Trim Can Strike Occupants and Cause Crash
Front fascia wood trim on certain motorhomes may separate from the slide-out and could contact the driver or a passenger.
