17V809000
EQUIPMENT
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
17V195000
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
16V478000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A sudden loss of an engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to a reduced brake capacity, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
16V252000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
15V492000
SUSPENSION:FRONT
If the ride height of the suspension is less than specified ride height the vehicle may be difficult to control, increasing the risk of a crash.
This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2016 NEWMAR ESSEXs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
