Newmar recalls 32 2026 Freedom Aire motorhomes over heating system wiring that can switch it on by itself

The hydronic heating system wiring may be wrongly connected to constant 12V power, so the heater can turn on unintentionally and produce harmful gas, which raises the risk of injury.

What to do

Dealers will repair the wiring and disconnect the heating system from constant 12V power for free. Owners may call Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 and cite recall number 626 RSB.
