NHTSA Campaign 16V744000

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

Issued by Newmar Corporation · Reported Oct 17, 2016 · 114 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2012-2017 Canyon Star motor homes manufactured September 7, 2011, to September 6, 2016 and equipped with wheelchair lifts. Incorrect bolts may have been used to install the wheelchair lift base. These bolts may unexpectedly break allowing the lift to move. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 404, "Platform Lift Installations."

Consequence

Unintentional movement of the wheelchair lift can cause injury to the lift occupant and/or the lift operator.

Remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and Newmar service facilities will replace the wheelchair lift base mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2016. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
