FYI: Slide out motor bolts

Just got off phone with Newmar concerning previous recall and was told we were up to date.
Was told about two Tech Service Bulletins 462/472 that Newmar sent out concerning the slide out motor bolts issue. Was told to bring coach in for service and they will pull bolts out of slide out motors, put lock tight on them and torque them back up at no cost to owner.
While we were at Region 5 Rally, back in October, in Citra, FL, Gary Smith, our Region 5 Director introduced Bob Hadley, Region 7 Director who talked about this. Bob made the rounds to coach's in attendance and Bob, tightened up several bolts on our 2015 DSDP.
Going to make appointment for service.

Great information, and again proof how valuable this forum is. I went to COMNET and found the bulletins you reference (slight correction, its 466/472..not sure why there are two, they seem identical). Have had my slides looked at a few times and was planning to get into the bedroom slide myself when I saw this. Will be taking it in for service. Thanks for posting!

I believe 466 only referred to bed slides, 472 includes all slides.

Really disappointed with Newmar... They issue a TSB for 3 model years... Which suggests the issue is ONLY resident to those model years... The REALITY is, the issue is resident in ALL MODEL YEARS with electric slide outs... Take a look at this link... The photo of the broken motor in the first post is ours... On a 2011 Essex!! Read through the posts and look at the model years with the SAME ISSUE!! In lieu of acknowledging a "systemic design flaw" Newmar opted to limit their liability...

Thank you Ken,
I checked mine after reading your original post. None of the bolts were finger loose but they all required tightening! I keep a closer eye on them now. Your post no doubt saved me some trouble and expense.
Thanks again.

Cheers

The early 2000 -2005 never heard of bolt problems its the late 2010 to present that they have shown up.
When I post the TSB thread I said that members should look ahead and back years in the TSB'S you may pick up something you might of had trouble with.
At least you have information to work from some thing that was not in existence years ago.

Tech at Newmar year or two ago recommended checking bolts spring and fall for tightness. They also did locktite on my last service trip.

This is so flat out simple to do yourself, I hardly think it is worth the fuel or time to go to a dealer. Besides which, you will do a better job yourself.

That's true a simple job for you and I but maybe they just want to get back to NEWMAR COUNTRY.
