In response, Newmar has filed recall NHTSA# 17V 497 and TC# 2017-389. Issue: On certain motorhomes built on Freightliner XCR chassis, a battery cable mounting bracket may not have been installed at the plant per installation drawings. If improperly routed and clipped, the battery cable may be in close proximity to the frame rail. This may cause rubbing or shorting of the cable and may increase the risk of a fire.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10121937-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10121937-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10121937","components":[{"id":"air-bags","name":"Air bags","parent":null},{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"DUTCH STAR","year_from":2014,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"MOUNTAIN AIRE","year_from":2014,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
