What's wrong?
The tire valve stem extension on affected 2020-2022 Newmar Supreme Aire and Super Star motor homes is a small extension attached to the inner rear wheel's tire valve. It lets the owner or service technician reach the inner tire valve to check pressure and add air without removing the outer wheel.
On these motor homes, the extension can contact the opening in the outer wheel rim. Normal wheel movement then rubs or stresses the extension. If the extension is damaged, air escapes from the inner tire and tire pressure drops. Loss of air pressure in that tire can increase the risk of a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not have a clear early symptom from the valve stem extension itself before the tire starts losing air.
Who's affected?
Both Supreme Aire and Super Star motorhomes are included for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years, with the same valve stem extension component in scope.

The recall parts and labor are free of charge. If you've already paid out of pocket for this valve stem extension repair, Newmar's standard reimbursement plan handles documented eligible expenses.
