Summary

Newmar Corporation "Newmar" is recalling certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks "DTNA" chassis. When the high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate instead of both the high beam and low beam bulbs as intended.

Consequence

If both the high beam and low beam bulbs do not illuminate, the reduced light output can affect the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Newmar will notify owners and DTNA dealers will modify the vehicles so that both beams illuminate when high beams are turned on, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2018. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 or 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.
