What's wrong?
On 2017-2022 Newmar Mountain Aire, Dutch Star, Ventana, and New Aire motorhomes in recall 21V372, the issue is in the diesel engine fuel rail assembly. The fuel rail holds diesel fuel under high pressure and sends it to the engine injectors so the engine receives the right amount of fuel at the right time.
On affected motorhomes, a sealing washer in the fuel rail assembly does not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes. That bad seal lets pressurized diesel fuel leak from the rail. If the leak turns into a spray or mist and reaches an ignition source, it raises the risk of fire.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing describes the diesel fuel spray as undetected, so owners should not count on a light, sound, smell, or drivability change before the leak becomes dangerous.
