What this recall means for you
On certain 2020 motorhomes, the low beam headlight bulbs may not stay lit when the high beams are switched on. If both beams are not illuminated together as intended, the driver can have reduced forward visibility, which raises the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Newmar will notify owners, and authorized Daimler Trucks North America dealers will fix the problem so the low beam bulb lights along with the high beam bulb. For questions, contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712.
If you own a 2020 motorhome of this type, check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls and schedule the free repair with an authorized dealer.
