In response, Newmar is issuing recall NHTSA# 17v 378 and TC#2017-304. On certain motorhomes, the retaining ring on the starter shaft may break without warning, allowing the shaft to extend beyond the starter motor. The motor may continue to be energized and overheat, or eventually be subjected to an over-current condition. Overheating or an over-current condition may increase the risk of a fire.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10117933-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10117933-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10117933","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"ESSEX","year_from":2012,"year_to":2015,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"KING AIRE","year_from":2012,"year_to":2015,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
