Newmar Recalls 2017 King Aire Motorhomes Due to Dashboard Display Issue

Newmar is recalling 2017 King Aire motorhomes because water leaks into the turn signal module, potentially obscuring the speedometer and RPM displays.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The defect creates a risk of crash due to obscured speedometer and RPM displays, but no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain model year 2017 King Aire motorhomes manufactured between January 22, 2016, and October 19, 2016. The recall involves 17 vehicles.

Water may leak into the turn signal module. If the module is wet while the headlights are on, the glass dash display may switch to the turn signal camera mode. This causes the dash to show the turn signal side camera view over the speedometer and RPM displays. If the driver cannot see the speedometer and RPM displays, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective module with a new waterproof module free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2017. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
