Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2014-2016 Dutch Star and Mountain Aire motorhomes, as well as 2015-2016 London Aire and Essex motorhomes manufactured between January 28, 2013, and December 14, 2015, that were built on a Daimler Trucks North America chassis. These vehicles have a throttle pedal position sensor that may fail to return to zero, which can cause the engine brake to suddenly stop working as intended. This loss of engine braking reduces the vehicle's ability to decelerate and could increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify affected owners, and the remedy is a free replacement of the throttle pedal performed by DTNA dealers. The recall began on August 5, 2016. Owners of affected motorhomes should contact Newmar Customer Service at 1-800-731-8300, Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712, or email DTNA.Warranty.Campaigns@Daimler.com to arrange the repair. The recall number is 16V 321.
