Newmar RV Brake Caliper Recall
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain motorhomes for a potential defect that could result in a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash and serious bodily injuries. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects the following Newmar Motorhomes built on DTNA chassis:

- 2019-2020 London Aire
- 2019 Mountain Aire
