NHTSA recall 08V443000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: After some period of use and due to the unshielded proximity of the primary engine exhaust system, thermal breakdown of the polyethylene moisture barrier may occur and could result in auto-ignition and combustion.
Why it matters: The location of the moisture barrier (on the underside of the main floor above the engine compartment), in relation to the unshielded primary engine exhaust system, may present a fire hazard.
The fix: Dealers will add the omitted heat shield. The recall is expected to begin during September 2008.
