The entry door latch rods on certain motorhomes may be improperly adjusted, so the door can open while the vehicle is in motion.
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.
