NHTSA Recall 18V245000
Filed by Newmar Corporation. Component: Exterior Lighting. Reported 2018-04-18. An estimated 2,038 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Newmar Ventana, 2015-2016 Newmar London Aire, and 2013-2017 Newmar Dutch Star motorhomes. When switching from using the low beam headlights to the high beam headlights, the low beam headlights go out when the intention was to have both beams illuminate.
Risk
Without the low beams also illuminated when the high beams are on, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the vehicles so that the low beam stays illuminated when the high beam is switched on, free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2018. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
