Issue

Issue:
On certain motorhomes, the brake light switch or wiring could be damaged by contact with the windshield wiper mechanism. If this happens, the brake lights may not turn on when the brakes are applied.

Safety Risk:
Brake lights that do not work properly could result in road users being confused of the driver's intentions, and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealer to inspect the brake light switch. It will be replaced, if necessary.
