💥 Crash riskNHTSA 07V354📅 Aug 15, 2007

2006–2007 Newmar ALL Star ME & 2006–2007 Newmar Dutch Star + 2 more recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain motor homes built on spartan mm chassis with cummins isl CM850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.

💥 The risk

If allowed to progress, this CAN lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, spilling oil and debris onto the roadway increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

🔧 The fix

Newmar is working with spartan and cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard. Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (please see 07E033). Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 , spartan at 517-543-6400, or 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.)
