    Newmar recalls Kountry Star and Ventana motorhomes

    The caliper mounting bolt may not be tightened properly

    Newmar Corporation is recalling five model year 2021 Kountry Star and Ventana motorhomes.

    One of the six brake caliper mounting bolts on the driver side steer axle may have been tightened incorrectly.

    The loose bolt could result in the loosening of other caliper bolts. Insufficiently tightened bolts may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate, resulting in reduced brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

    What to do

    On behalf of Newmar, DTNA will coordinate the recall repair and notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair -- as necessary -- free of charge.

    The recall is expected to begin April 13, 2021.

    Owners may contact Newmar customer service at (800) 731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 21V-018.
