Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with refrigerator door latches that may inadvertently lock without the operator's knowledge.

Why it matters: If an individual climbed into the refrigerator and the door inadvertently latched, the person would not be able to open the door, increasing their risk of injury.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will install a new replacement door latch that will not automatically latch, free of charge. The recall began on January 24, 2016.
