Newmar Dutch Star Class A Motorhome: Brakes

Affects Newmar Dutch Star Class A Motorhome · 2023 — about 2 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On a small number of motorhomes, when the adjustable brake pedal is fully extended towards the driver, it may contact the dash panel. This can cause the brakes to partially apply. If you continue to drive with the brakes partially applied, the brakes could overheat and cause a brake failure. Safety Risk: Overheated brakes or a brake failure could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a Newmar dealership to modify the dash panel.
