Details

What's wrong: The brake light switch may chafe against the windshield wiper mechanism, which could damage the brake light switch or it's wiring, and cause the brake lights to not illuminate.

Why it matters: If the brake lights do not illuminate, other motorists will be unaware of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2021.
