In response, Newmar Corporation is releasing recall NHTSA 18V 505 and TC # 2018-401. Issue: On certain motorhomes equipped with air disc brakes, the brake caliper mounting bolts may be incorrectly torqued. The caliper bolts may loosen, which may lead to the caliper detaching. Insufficiently torqued fasteners may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate, potentially resulting in reduced brake effectiveness. This scenario would result in greater stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10144303-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10144303-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10144303","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null},{"id":"brake-caliper","name":"Brake caliper","parent":"brakes"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"ESSEX","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"LONDON AIRE","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"MOUNTAIN AIRE","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"VENTANA","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"VENTANA LE","year_from":2017,"year_to":2019,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
