Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2014 Mountain Aire and 2014-2017 Dutch Star recreational vehicles built on Freightliner XCR chassis. The battery cable mounting bracket on these vehicles may not have been installed correctly, which can allow the battery cable to contact the frame rail. When the cable rubs against the frame, it can become damaged and short circuit, creating a fire risk.
Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-3712 or Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 to arrange an inspection. Authorized DTNA dealers will inspect and adjust the battery cable mounting bracket and cable routing as needed at no cost to the owner. Newmar's reference number for this recall is 17V-451.
