What this recall means for you
The inner tire valve stem extension on certain motorhomes can rub against the outer wheel rim opening. Over time, this contact can damage the valve stem extension.
If the valve stem extension is badly damaged, the inner tire can lose air pressure, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should watch for warning signs such as a tire pressure warning, a tire that looks low, or handling changes while driving.
The repair is free at an authorized Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) facility. Owners can contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 and reference recall number 20V-529. The remedy is still being developed, so Newmar will notify owners when it is available. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
