Newmar London Aire Motorhomes Recalled for Headlight Beam Defect

Newmar is recalling 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes because high beams fail to illuminate low beam bulbs, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect affecting visibility that increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2015-2018 London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks (DTNA) chassis. The recall involves a defect in the exterior lighting system where activating the high beams causes only the high beam bulbs to illuminate, rather than both the high beam and low beam bulbs as intended.

This defect results in reduced light output, which can affect the driver's visibility and increase the risk of a crash. The recall began on January 16, 2018.

Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 or Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. DTNA dealers will modify the vehicles so that both beams illuminate when high beams are turned on, free of charge. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
