The short version
Newmar Corporation reported a problem with the service brakes, electric. Here is what owners need to know.
In these vehicles with a heavier, adjustable, straight foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released.
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire.
Newmar will notify owners, and Freightliner dealers will modify the affected pedal assemblies, free of charge.
