2023 Newmar Dutch Star recalls

Recall 24V-019: Seats

Reported Jan 17, 2024 · 160 vehicles affected · Newmar Corporation

Problem: Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, London Aire, Essex, and 2016 London Aire motorhomes. The pedestal mounting plate may be improperly welded, causing the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach. As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, “Seating Systems,", and number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."

Risk: A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect for a missing weld, and replace the pedestal as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 31, 2024. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 608 RSB.

I finally turned the engine off, turned the ignition key on, and waited to make sure the engine and dash system completely rebooted…
