2012 NEWMAR ESSEX; 2012 NEWMAR KING AIRE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2012 Essex and King Aire motor homes built between December 15, 2010, and August 15, 2011 on Spartan Motors chassis. These vehicles have Ametek air pressure gauges that may not accurately display the vehicle's air brake system pressure, potentially reading as safe when the brakes are actually in poor condition. This inaccurate gauge reading could prevent drivers from recognizing a brake system problem, increasing the risk of a crash.
Spartan Motors will contact affected owners and replace the air pressure gauge at authorized Spartan Motors dealers. The recall began in November 2013. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Newmar Corporation at 1-800-731-8300 or Spartan Motors at 1-800-582-3454.
