Newmar recalls Kountry Star and Dutch Star motorhomes

Newmar Corporation is recalling 1,370 model year 2021 Kountry Star and model year 2017-2021 Dutch Star motorhomes.

The brake light switch may chafe against the windshield wiper mechanism, which could damage the brake light switch or it's wiring, and cause the brake lights to not illuminate.

If the brake lights do not illuminate, other motorists will be unaware of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and replace it -- as necessary -- free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin April 18, 2021.

Owners may contact Newmar customer service at (80) 731-8300.
