What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON GASOLINE ENGINE CHASSIS. THERE IS AN IMPROPER SEAL AT THE FRONT DASH AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

The risk

THE LOCATION MAY NOT BE SEALED AND COULD ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES INTO THE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL HAVE NEW FOAM INSTALLED UNDER DASH TRIM AND "A" PILLAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NEWMAR AT 1-800-731-8300.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
