Summary

Newmar Corporation "Newmar" is recalling certain 2017 King Aire motorhomes. The seals on the headlight harness connectors may not be properly seated, allowing water to enter the connector. As a result, the glass dash display may switch to the turn signal camera mode causing the dash to show the turn signal side camera view over the speedometer and RPM displays.

Consequence

If the driver cannot see the speedometer and RPM displays, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reseat the seals as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

Notes

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.
