Newmar RV recalling motorhomes for instrument panel defect

[Rev. Roy]

I have seen this issue discussed and I didn't see the recall posted here yet so I thought I'd share it.
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Essex and New Aire, 2019 Dutch Star, London Aire, Mountain Aire, and Ventana motorhomes. The instrument panel brightness cannot be adjusted, possibly causing glare when driving at night. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, “Control and Displays.”

Glare can reduce the driver’s visibility of the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will update the software and processor, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 25, 2020. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).

I posted it because not everyone would have continued to follow a thread that was started a year and a half ago. I did searched for it on the forum before posting.

Since this is already being discussed and the thread is current, this one is closed and re-directed to the standing thread.
