Last week I had the air dryer filter replaced at Colton Truck Terminal in Colton Ca. Subsequently, I did the complete 7 step air brake system check and discovered that during total loss of air pressure , the emergency brakes would not auto apply. I replaced the dash hand valve and the problem still persists, so I installed the original valve and took the coach back to Colton Truck Terminal to diagnose the problem. Attached is the paper work from Colton Truck Terminal diagnosing the issue and the correction of that issue. Also on that paperwork is the vehicle information. Apparently, two air …
My Newmar motorhome has 20,000 miles on it. When driving on the highway the steering intermittantly gets about 60% harder to steer for approximately 20 minutes then goes back to normal. It happens repeatedly and regardless of whether you are turning or going straight. Last week the problem became much worse. More importantly I was exiting the highway and the steering wheel turned by itself back to center while I was turning! Thank god I was moving slowly and was able to stop. I turned the motorhome engine off and restarted it and the steering was operational again. I called freightliner and …
TPMS not reading tire pressure
Tire Pressure Monitor System stops working after 1 to 2 hours and shows all tires at 401 degrees F and 136 PSI. At this point there is no warning if a tire loses pressure or overheats which could lead to a blowout and accident.
This model motorhome has a steering assist function to allow the steering wheel effort to be adjusted to a very light turning input or a very hard turning input. This feature is known as Comfort Drive or Comfort Steer. As I was driving down the highway at 60 MPH, I got a warning on the dash that said “Steering Effort Control (CTRL) Disabled” and the steering wheel immediately went into the very hard steering feel. While still driveable at highway speeds, all turns, especially at slow speeds are difficult to turn the wheel into and out of the turn. On a social media page for Newmar owners, I …
Chassis
No chassis mapping is recorded for this model year. Mappings come only from recall notices that name the chassis, so this is a gap in the record, not a statement about the coach.
Canadian notices
Transport Canada publishes its own notices with their own IDs. They are separate records from the U.S. campaigns above and are never merged with them.
No Transport Canada notice in this dataset lists this model year.
