- The defect
- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2022 Mountain Aire, Dutch Star, Ventana, 2021-2023 Bay Star, Canyon Star, and 2022-2023 Kountry Star, and Bay Star Sport motorhomes. The service valves on the LPG tanks may be improperly connected, which can cause a propane leak.
- What it can cause
- A propane 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 service valves, as necessary, 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 1,060 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 16,139 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 13 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, 7 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V108000 (structure), 24V301000 (equipment), 24V019000 (seats), 23V469000 (seat belts).
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 22V584000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
