EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2022 Super Star, Ventana, 2022-2023 New Aire, Essex, Dutch Star, and Mountain Aire motorhomes equipped with International Thermal Research powered heaters. These heaters could have an incorrect fuel line installed that may leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel line as needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 30, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar's 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 92 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% of the 16,139 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Newmar vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 30 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V571000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V431000 (structure), 24V019000 (seats), 23V469000 (seat belts), 22V749000 (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 August 4, 2022 as campaign 22V583000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
