## The problem

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Newmar Ventana LE and Ventana motorhomes, 2018 Mountain Aire and Essex motorhomes, and 2017-2018 London Aire motorhomes.  The brake caliper mounting bolts on these vehicles may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the bolts to loosen.

## The safety risk

If the brake caliper mounting bolts loosen, braking performance may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and authorized Daimler Trucks service centers will inspect the caliper mounting bolts and tighten them to the proper specification, free of charge.  The recall began on August 30, 2018.  Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.  Newmar's number for this recall is 18V-353.
