Service bulletin RSB 537
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in specific motorhomes built on Freightliner Chassis (NHTSA 18V 703). In response, Newmar Corporation is releasing recall NHTSA 18V 859 and TC # 2018-669. Issue: On certain motorhomes, the brake caliper mounting bolts may be incorrectly torqued. Insufficiently torqued bolts may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate potentially resulting in reduced brake effectiveness. Reduced brake effectiveness could lead to a vehicle crash and/or property damage.
