TIRES:VALVE
- The defect
- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Super Star and Supreme Aire motor homes built on Freightliner M2 chassis. The tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel may come into contact with the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged.
- What it can cause
- Damage to the valve stem extension may result in a loss of tire pressure of the inner wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and the replace the valve stem extension as necessary, and install a valve stem extension stabilizer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 25, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
- 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.nhtsa.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 162 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Newmar vehicles have been recalled over the tires 4 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V566000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V469000 (seat belts), 22V890000 (steering), 22V749000 (equipment), 22V583000 (equipment).
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 January 31, 2022 as campaign 22V043000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
