The defect
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2018 London Aire, King Aire, and Essex motorhomes built on Spartan Motors chassis and equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall.
The risk
Failure of the fuel pump will result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Spartan will notify the vehicle owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel pumps, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2017. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467, Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 or Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 17015.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 17V413000.
