Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2018 Bay Star and Bay Star Sport motorhomes due to a defect in the exterior lighting system. The front side marker lights may not be connected to the wiring harness, and when the high beams are activated, the low beams may not illuminate as intended. This lighting malfunction can reduce visibility for both the motorhome operator and other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

Newmar will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will repair the problem by connecting the front side marker lights to the wiring harness and ensuring the low beam lights illuminate properly when high beams are activated. This repair will be performed free of charge. Owners of potentially affected motorhomes should contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 to determine if their vehicle is part of the recall and to schedule the repair.
