CarRecallWatch- Component
- EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
- Problem
- Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks (DTNA) chassis. When the high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate instead of both the high beam and low beam bulbs as intended.
- Risk
- If both the high beam and low beam bulbs do not illuminate, the reduced light output can affect the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Newmar will notify owners and DTNA dealers will modify the vehicles so that both beams illuminate when high beams are turned on, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2018. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 or Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
On certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks chassis, activating the high beams lights only the high beam bulbs when both the high beam and low beam bulbs should illuminate. This reduces the light output available to the driver.
With less light reaching the road ahead, the driver's ability to see hazards, pedestrians, and other obstacles at night can be reduced, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Newmar will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America dealers will modify the vehicle so both beams illuminate when the high beams are turned on. Owners can contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 or Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
