What happened

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2015-2016 King Aire and Essex vehicles manufactured between March 13, 2014, and May 13, 2015, as well as 2016 Mountain Aire vehicles manufactured between March 17, 2015, and April 17, 2015. These vehicles, built on a Spartan Chassis, have fasteners connecting the stay rod to the rear drive axle that may not have been installed with thread locker or tightened in the correct sequence. If these fasteners loosen, the stay rod may disconnect from the rear axle, allowing the rear axle to move freely and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Spartan will notify owners on behalf of Newmar, and dealers will replace the fasteners using thread lock and tighten them in the proper sequence with the required torque values at no charge. The recall began on July 13, 2015. Affected consumers should contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-582-3454.
