Recall campaigns 6 of 13
17V378000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
A starter motor that overheats may increase the risk of a fire.
17V195000
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
16V280000
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
Loss of power steering assist would result in increased difficulty to steer the vehicle in either direction at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
16V252000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
15V808000
EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
If an individual climbed into the refrigerator and the door inadvertently latched, the person would not be able to open the door, increasing their risk of injury.
This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2014 NEWMAR ESSEXs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
