Details

What's wrong: Water may leak into the turn signal module. If the module is wet while the headlights are on, 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.

Why it matters: If the driver cannot see the speedometer and rpm displays, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective module with a new module that is waterproof, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2017.
