What happened

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2019 Essex, King Aire, London Aire, Mountain Aire, and 2020 Dutch Star motorhomes due to a potential problem with the brake relay valve. The valve may have a partially blocked orifice that restricts air flow, which can cause the vehicle to require a longer distance to stop than normal. This defect could increase the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Newmar will notify owners, and Spartan dealers will inspect and replace the brake relay valve at no charge if necessary. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 for more information. The recall number is 19012.
