NHTSA recall 15V654000
Suspension · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have tag axles with wheel bearings that may be adjusted too tight, resulting in their overheating during use.
Why it matters: If the wheel bearings overheat, there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.
The fix: Newmar will notfy owners, and spartan dealers will check the wheel end bearings for appropriate end play, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 29, 2015.
