Recall 14V485000
Exterior Lighting — Newmar · reported 6 Aug 2014 · 63 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2014 Dutch Star motorhomes manufactured April 14, 2014, to June 20, 2014. An incorrectly wired headlight wiring harness may have been installed in the affected vehicles. As a result, if one of the two headlight circuit breakers fails, both headlights and both fog lights may go out.
The risk
If the headlights and fog lights go out, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will install an auxillary headlight harness, free of charge. The recall began on August 19, 2014. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
