Newmar Grand Star Class A Motorhome: Brakes

Affects Newmar Grand Star Class A Motorhome · 2008–2009 — about 8 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain motorhomes, long periods of non-driving may cause the brake calipers to stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to a soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake calipers.
