Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a steering gear mounting bracket that may crack, causing a loss of steering ability.

Why it matters: A loss of steering increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and spartan dealers will replace the steering gear mounting brackets, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2016.
