What's wrong?
On 2007-2016 Newmar Canyon Star and All Star toy haulers, the exterior fuel dispensing system is the built-in fuel station used to dispense gasoline outside the motorhome. That system sits in an exterior compartment, so the compartment walls and ceiling need to separate fuel equipment from materials that burn.
In affected motorhomes, the inside top of that compartment exposes the underside of the floor, including flammable plastic wrap. If the fuel dispensing compartment starts a fire from an ignition source, that wrap can burn instead of acting as protected surrounding material. Burning wrap adds fuel near the gasoline dispensing area and increases the risk of fire or a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, smell, or feel a specific change before exposed wrap becomes part of a fire path, so the issue is found by inspection of the fuel dispensing compartment.
Who's affected?
Covers All Star motorhomes from 2007, 2008, and 2009 and Canyon Star motorhomes from 2009 through 2016, all tied to the fuel system.
