Details

What's wrong: The seals on the headlight harness connectors may not be properly seated, allowing water to enter the connector. As a result, 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 inspect and reseat the seals as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017.
