What happened

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2012-2013 Essex and 2012 King Aire recreational vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The ABS modulator valve may fracture if it contacts the steering relay rod, which can prevent air from being properly applied to one wheel's air brakes. This defect may increase stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side when braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

Spartan will notify affected owners and Spartan dealers will reorient the ABS modulator valve and install spacers for additional clearance at no charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners should contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400 to arrange the repair. Newmar's recall number is 13V 392.
