Newmar Corporation is recalling 1,260 model year 2017-2018 Ventana, Ventana LE and Dutchstar motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis.
The low beam headlights do not illuminate as intended when the high beam headlights are activated, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What to do
Newmar will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will reprogram the Freightliner chassis module, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin March 20, 2018.
Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
