NHTSA recall 15V411000
Power Train · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles, built on a spartan chassis, have fasteners that attach the stay rod (v-rod) to the rear drive axle that may not have been installed with thread locker or tightened in the correct sequence.
Why it matters: If the fasteners loosen, the stay rod may disconnect from the rear axle, allowing the rear axle to move freely, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Spartan will notify owners on behalf of newmar, and dealers will replace the fasteners using thread lock, tightening them in the proper sequence and with the required torque values, free of charge. The recall began on July 13, 2015.
