The defect
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2015 Essex and King Aire vehicles manufactured March 26, 2014, to December 4, 2014. The affected vehicles have tag axle suspension hangers that may move, allowing the tag axle assembly to shift off center.
The risk
If the tag axle moves off center, vehicle handling may suddenly be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
