2016 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE Complaints and Recall Information
The 2016 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE has 0 complaints and 9 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to seat assembly attachment, service brake systems, front suspension control arms, electrical system wiring, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, engine braking, and fire extinguisher equipment. The recalls cover various safety and functional defects affecting seating, braking, steering, lighting, and emergency equipment.
There are nine recalls affecting multiple systems such as seating assemblies, brake pedals, suspension components, wiring connections, headlights, accelerator pedals, and fire extinguishers. These recalls involve remedies that include inspections, replacements, and modifications to resolve the defects at no charge to owners.
Recalls- Seat assembly mounting. NHTSA recall 24V019000 affects 160 vehicles. Pedestal mounting plates may be improperly welded causing loosening or detachment of the seat assembly, increasing injury risk. Dealers will inspect and replace defective pedestals free of charge.
- Brake activation signal. Recall 16V252000 covers 1,150 vehicles. The brake activation signal to certain towed devices may remain active after service brakes are released, causing brake drag, overheating, and fire risk. Freightliner will modify brake pedal assemblies at no cost.
- Front suspension ball joints. Recall 17V195000 affects 595 vehicles. Ball joints in the front suspension can loosen and separate, leading to partial loss of steering control and increased crash risk. Spartan service centers will resecure ball joints free of charge.
- Electrical transfer switch wiring. Recall 17V830000 affects 2,915 vehicles. Loose power connections at the Automatic Transfer Switch may form heat buildup, raising fire risk. Dealers will inspect and tighten connections at no charge.
- Headlight operation defect. Recall 18V245000 covers 2,038 vehicles where low beams turn off when high beams activate, reducing visibility. Dealers will correct wiring so low beams remain on with high beams free of charge.
- Throttle pedal sensor. Recall 16V478000 affects 1,243 vehicles. The throttle pedal position sensor may fail to return to zero, causing sudden loss of engine brake and reduced deceleration ability, increasing crash risk. DTNA dealers will replace the affected pedal sensor free of charge.
- High beam lighting. Recall 17V723000 covers 41 vehicles. High beams illuminate alone without low beams, reducing light output and driver visibility. Dealers will modify lighting circuits so both beams illuminate when high beams are on at no cost.
- Fire extinguisher malfunction. Recall 17V809000 affects 34,699 motorhomes including the London Aire. Certain Kidde plastic-handle extinguishers may clog or require excessive force to activate and could detach the nozzle, preventing proper discharge and increasing fire injury risk. Owners will receive replacement extinguishers from Kidde free of charge.
Owners who encounter repeated repairs due to these recalls or unresolved safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting an attorney familiar with lemon law cases could help determine available remedies related to ongoing issues or recall repairs.

SEATS
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, London Aire, Essex, and 2016 London Aire motorhomes. The pedestal mounting plate may be improperly welded, causing the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach. As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, “Seating Systems,", and number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."
Risk: A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Newmar Ventana, 2015-2016 Newmar London Aire, and 2013-2017 Newmar Dutch Star motorhomes. When switching from using the low beam headlights to the high beam headlights, the low beam headlights go out when the intention was to have both beams illuminate.
Risk: Without the low beams also illuminated when the high beams are on, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

2915 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2016-2018 Bay Star, Bay Star Sport, Canyon Star, Dutch Star, Essex, King Aire, London Aire, Mountain Aire, New Aire, Ventana and Ventana LE motorhomes. These vehicles may have a loose power connection at the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), possibly resulting in a build up of heat.
Risk: The build up of heat in the wiring from the loose power connection can increase the risk of a fire.

EQUIPMENT
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling various 1995-2018 motorhomes. A list of the affected vehicles available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V809-2309.pdf. These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

41 vehicles affected
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks (DTNA) chassis. When the high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate instead of both the high beam and low beam bulbs as intended.
Risk: If both the high beam and low beam bulbs do not illuminate, the reduced light output can affect the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
2016 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE
595 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Dutch Star, 2016-2018 Mountain Aire and London Aire, and 2012-2018 Essex and King Aire motorhomes built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The ball joints on the independent front suspension (IFS) modules can loosen and separate, leading to a partial loss of steering.
Risk: A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
2016 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE
1150 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, Essex, and 2015-2016 London Aire vehicles manufactured March 27, 2013, to October 16, 2015 and built on a Freightliner chassis. On certain recreational vehicles built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the service brakes are released.
Risk: 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. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
2016 NEWMAR LONDON AIRE
1243 vehicles affected
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Dutch Star and Mountain Aire and 2015-2016 London Aire and Essex motorhomes manufactured January 28, 2013, to December 14, 2015 and built on a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) chassis. The throttle pedal position sensor on the affected vehicles may not return to zero, causing the engine brake to suddenly not activate as expected, reducing the vehicle's deceleration ability.
Risk: A sudden loss of an engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to a reduced brake capacity, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
