What this recall means for you
On certain 2015 and 2016 Newmar Essex, King Aire, and Mountain Aire motorhomes built between March 2014 and June 2015, the air suspension control module may lose power. When this happens, the suspension cannot reach the correct ride height, so the vehicle sits lower than it should.
If the ride height falls below the specified level, the motorhome may be difficult to control, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk, particularly when driving.
Newmar will notify affected owners, and the repair will be performed free of charge by Spartan Motors. You can contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 for more information, and you should check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
