NHTSA recall 13V653000
Steering · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the castle nuts for the steering linkage ball joint fasteners, which mount to bell cranks, may be loose. If the castle nuts become completely loose, the steering linkage may separate from the bell cranks without warning.
Why it matters: This may cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Newmar will notify owners and spartan dealers will replace the steering linkage fasteners, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Customers may contact newmar at 1-800-731-8300.
