What's wrong?

The V-Bus FET-8 control board in these 2011 Newmar King Aire, Essex Dp, and Mountain Aire Dp recreational vehicles is part of the electrical control system. It helps route and switch power to coach circuits so interior equipment receives power only when commanded. The board is supposed to recognize abnormal electrical load and keep current within the intended range.

On affected Newmar recreational vehicles, that control board has a defect that allows an excessive current condition to go unrecognized. In plain terms, too much electrical current can flow without the board responding the way it should. That leaves the affected circuit outside its intended operating limit until the problem is corrected.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on a light, message, sound, or change in how the coach feels to know this defect is present.

Who's affected?

Covers three Newmar motorhome lines from the 2011 model year, all tied to the electrical system.

What's the safety risk?

This electrical failure is a shock or fire hazard in the KIB V-Bus lighting and control network. If your VIN is included, schedule service soon and avoid unnecessary use until Newmar confirms the reprogramming is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Newmar dealer once available.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Newmar technician reprograms the KIB V Bus lighting and control network to address the excessive current condition described in recall 11V067. Newmar's remedy says the reprogramming is free of charge. Because the remedy status is not listed as available here, confirm repair availability for your VIN before arranging service. Once Newmar opens or confirms the repair for your vehicle, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
