FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
- The defect
- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2017-2022 Dutch Star, 2017-2019 Mountain Aire, 2019-2021 Ventana and 2021 New Aire motorhomes. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the rail threads, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Interim notification letters were mailed to owners on July 16, 2021. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8000. Newmar's number for this recall is Cummins 21E-032.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,294 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Newmar vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel once before this, most recently in June 2017 as 17V413000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 13 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 57 complaints with NHTSA, 20 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2018, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V019000 (seats), 22V584000 (equipment), 22V583000 (equipment), 22V234000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Newmar Corporation with NHTSA on May 20, 2021 as campaign 21V372000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
