2009 NEWMAR GRAND STAR CA; 2008 NEWMAR GRAND STAR CA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2008 and 2009 Grand Star Class A motorhomes built on Freightliner Custom Chassis between January 25, 2007, and May 22, 2009. These motorhomes are equipped with Bosch hydraulic disc brakes that may experience reduced brake performance after long periods of non-driving. The brakes can develop excessive piston growth and reduced clearance in the brake calipers, which may cause brake drag and overheating and ultimately lead to reduced braking ability and potential vehicle crashes.
Owners will be notified by Daimler Trucks/FCCC, and authorized FCCC dealers will perform repairs at no charge. An interim letter was mailed on August 6, 2012. Affected consumers should contact Newmar at 1-574-773-7791 or Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 for more information about the recall and repair process.
