Newmar Corporation: Electrical System › Wiring › Front Underhood
Newmar Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 4, 2017 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 26. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2017 King Aire motorhomes. The seals on the headlight harness connectors may not be properly seated, allowing water to enter the connector. As a result, the glass dash display may switch to the turn signal camera mode causing the dash to show the turn signal side camera view over the speedometer and RPM displays.
The risk
If the driver cannot see the speedometer and RPM displays, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reseat the seals as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 17V229000.
