Newmar Recalls 2020 Mountain Aire Motorhomes for Headlight Defect

Newmar is recalling 2020 Mountain Aire motorhomes because low beam bulbs may fail to illuminate when high beams are activated, 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 risk-of-harm product (reduced visibility increasing crash risk) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2020 Mountain Aire motorhomes built on a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) chassis. The recall addresses a defect where the low beam bulbs may not remain illuminated when the high beam bulbs are activated.

If both beams are not illuminated together as intended, the driver may have reduced visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on January 6, 2020.

Newmar will notify owners, and DTNA dealers will repair the vehicles as necessary to ensure the low beam bulb will illuminate along with the high beam bulb, free of charge. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
