2016 Newmar Ventana recalls
Headlights May Go Dark When Switching to High Beams
On certain motorhomes, the low beam headlights turn off when the driver switches to the high beams, when both sets should stay lit.
Steering Hose May Rub Starter, Causing Fire or Steering Loss
A power steering hose on certain motorhomes may be routed incorrectly and rub against the power stud on the starter motor.
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.
Night Shades Can Drop Mid-Drive, Blocking Driver View
Powered night shades on the driver and passenger sides can be lowered with the remote while the ignition is on.
Steering hose may rub starter, risking fire
Some 2016-2017 Newmar Dutch Star and Ventana motorhomes built between January 22, 2016, and November 7, 2016, with Cummins ISL engines may have a power steering hose routed incorrectly.
Front Sway Bar Can Loosen and Detach, Raising Crash Risk
Certain 2015-2016 Newmar Ventana motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis may have front sway bar mounting brackets that do not fit properly on the axle.
Incorrect tire pressure label may cause tire failure
The incomplete vehicle label on certain 2016 motorhomes lists the maximum front tire inflation as 130 psi.

What owners report
Driving west on Interstate 80 in Iowa heading to South Dakota, when smoke started to appear in rear of motor home outside . Pulled over to find that diesel fuel was spraying all over the motor, very fortunate that it did not catch on fire. It is a Cummins 8.9 diesel motor # 73844606 . Had it towed to a licensed repair shop and the mechanic found that the # 1 fuel injector line had a hair line crack causing the fuel leak. Contacted Cummins on this issue and they said there is no recall on this problem , because there is not enough engines having this problem. I found on a RV Forum that this issue has happened to other RV owners. The forum also stated that there are other injector lines
The SCR/DPF/DEF emissions control system is faulty and results in the vehicle becoming undrivable at unpredictable instances when no actual fault or deficiency exists. This may result in the driver becoming stranded in area with no cell phone signal and during times of harsh weather. It may also leave motorists stranded in unsafe locations with insufficient room to park safely and no capability to move to a safe location. This is a result of the system âde-ratingâ due to faulty sensors or DEF delivery systems or a variety of other causes. Because the system will derate the engine when the sensors indicate a low DEF condition when the DEF tank is sufficiently full, it is impossible for th
On Jan 2, 2021, I filed NHTSA complaint #11386115. To date I have heard nothing other than an acknowledgement of receipt of the complaint. I would like to point out that this problem is on-going, increasing in severity and number of occurrences, and can easily be considered a life safety issue. As Iâm sure you are aware, vehicles conveying human beings are becoming randomly and unpredictability stranded due to faulty sensors on otherwise properly functioning emission systems. This problem is easily resolvable with a simple policy modification, but because it involves emissions, and by extension theoretically the environment (although in this case this is not accurate), there is no appare
