Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Canyon Star motorhomes manufactured between August 4, 2011, and February 19, 2013. The recall involves 103 vehicles that may have missing reflectors on the rear cap, which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108 regarding lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

The absence of these reflectors could reduce the ability of other drivers to see the motorhome, increasing the risk that another vehicle may crash into it. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will install the required reflectors. The safety recall began on June 20, 2013. Owners may contact Newmar at 1-574-773-7791 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
