2005 Newmar London Aire recalls
Recall 17V-809: Equipment
Problem: Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling various 1995-2018 motorhomes. A list of the affected vehicles available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V809-2309.pdf. These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Fix: Newmar will notify owners, and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on February 7, 2018. Owners may contact Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information or owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-574-773-7791.

Problem: Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2004-2007 Essex motorhomes manufactured March 24, 2003, to March 7, 2007, and 2005-2007 London Aire motorhomes manufactured May 30, 2005, to October 23, 2006, and 2007-2008 Mountain Aire motorhomes manufactured January 19, 2006, to February 27, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the engine cooling fan may separate from the fan drive while the fan is spinning.

Recall 07V-351: Steering
Problem: On certain motor homes built on spartan chassis, the steering gear assembly contains a spacer with incorrect dimensions. A spacer of insufficient height allows for excessive play in the return function of the recirculation balls and, as a consequence, there is a failure in the circulatory function of these balls.
Risk: If the failure mode is allowed to continue, the final result will be interruption in the connection between the steering wheel and the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle can no longer be steered and could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Newmar is working with spartan to replace the steering gear assembly free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
