What happened

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2014-2017 Newmar Ventana, 2011-2017 Newmar Dutch Star, and 2011-2014 Newmar Mountain Aire vehicles built on Freightliner XBR chassis with Cummins ISL engines. The power steering hose on these vehicles may be routed incorrectly and could rub against the power stud on the starter motor, potentially causing a power steering fluid leak or electrical arcing.

If the power steering hose contacts the power stud, drivers may need additional steering effort to control the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. Electrical arcing from the contact also increases the risk of fire. Newmar will notify owners, and Freightliner dealers will reroute the power steering hose at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 and reference recall number FL-762.
