Newmar Essex Class A Motorhome, King Aire Class A Motorhome: Electrical

Affects Newmar Essex Class A Motorhome, King Aire Class A Motorhome · 2012–2014 — about 33 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain motorhomes equipped with a Prestolite starter, the retaining ring on the starter shaft may break without warning, allowing the shaft to extend beyond the starter motor. The motor could continue to be energized and overheat or eventually be subject to an over current condition, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Spartan service centers will replace the starter.
