Campaign Details

Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Defect Description

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2021 Kountry Star and 2017-2021 Dutch Star motorhomes. The brake light switch may chafe against the windshield wiper mechanism, which could damage the brake light switch or it's wiring, and cause the brake lights to not illuminate.

Consequence / Hazard

If the brake lights do not illuminate, other motorists will be unaware of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.

Proposed Solution

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2021. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
