2017 NEWMAR VENTANA VL; 2017 NEWMAR VENTANA; 2017 NEWMAR DUTCH STAR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2017 Ventana, Ventana VL, and Dutch Star motorhomes manufactured between November 1, 2015, and June 24, 2016, that were built on a Freightliner Custom Chassis. These vehicles have a defect where turning off the windshield wipers may also turn off the headlights, and the wiper arms may stop in positions that block the driver's view. Additionally, the wiper motor may stall when under load. These conditions can reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
To remedy this issue, Newmar will notify owners and Freightliner dealers will update the wiper software at no cost. The recall began on July 28, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Newmar Customer Service Department at 1-800-731-8300.
