Newmar Recalls 2007-2012 Motorhomes Due to Refrigerator Circuit Breaker Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Bay Star, Ventana VT/VL, Dutch Aire, Dutch Star, All-Star, Mountain Aire, and Essex motorhomes. The affected vehicles were manufactured between January 16, 2007, and May 24, 2012. A total of 561 units are affected by this recall.

The recall is issued because the circuit breaker for the refrigerator heated water line may be incorrect for the amperage draw. A circuit breaker that is incorrectly rated for the amperage need increases the risk of a fire.

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorhome and verify that the circuit breaker rating is correct for the amperage draw, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2014. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
