The problem
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Kountry Star and 2021 Ventana motorhomes. The tie rod clamps may be loose, which could result in loose tie rod ends that could break or detach.

Detached or broken tie rod ends can result in steering loss, increasing the risk of a crash.
