What this recall means for you
Water can leak into the turn signal module on certain 2017 King Aire motorhomes built between January 22, 2016, and October 19, 2016. When the module is wet and the headlights are on, the glass dash display may switch to the turn signal side camera view, showing that camera image over the speedometer and RPM readings.
If you cannot see your speedometer and RPM displays while driving, you are at increased risk of a crash. Keep an eye on your speed by other means if this happens, and pull over safely when you can.
