- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2026 Freedom Aire motorhomes equipped with a ThermaHeat Tank Pad. The water tank heating pad may experience high resistance and fail.

- A heating pad failure can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a new water tank heating pad, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 6, 2026. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 622 RSB.
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 16 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% 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 one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Newmar vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 34 times before this, most recently in April 2024 as 24V301000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V273000 (equipment), 26V272000 (structure), 26V107000 (electrical system).
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 16, 2026 as campaign 26V015000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
