Summary

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.

Consequence

If the headlights and fog lights go out, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

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.
