Details

What's wrong: The hydraulic entry step controller may not be functioning as designed and may allow the steps to retract unexpectedly.

Why it matters: The steps can retract without warning, causing someone using the steps to fall, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steps and update the controller software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 19, 2016.
