Newmar recalls 2021 Ventana motorhomes with potentially loose brake caliper bolts that could reduce braking effectiveness and increase crash risk. Owners must contact Newmar for free repair.
The loose bolt could result in the loosening of other caliper bolts. Insufficiently tightened bolts may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate, resulting in reduced brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
