| 2010 Newmar Dutch Star Brake System Recall |
Summary: 
Newmar
is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Dutch Star and 2009-2010
Dutch Aire motorhomes, built on a Spartan chassis equipped with a
Hendrickson independent front suspension. The front brake chambers may
contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension.
Continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to prevent the
full release of the brakes. If the brakes do not fully release, as they
drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even
further.
Consequence: As the brakes heat up, they may self-engage, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
