2002–2003 Newmar Kountry Star & 2002 Newmar Mountain Aire recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
💥 The risk
The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Newmar is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the rims replaced. The recall began on october 17, 2005. Owners may contact newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
