# 17V-420 recall: Newmar Dutch Star

These are official NHTSA recalls. A model year on a campaign is not proof a VIN is included. Owner reports are not included.

**Campaign:** 17V-420
**Manufacturer:** Newmar Corporation
**Component:** EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
**Filed:** June 30, 2017
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=17V420

## The problem

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Newmar Dutch Star and 2015-2017 Newmar Ventana motorhomes. In the affected motorhomes, the driver side and passenger side powered night shades can be lowered by using the remote when the ignition is in the ON position.

## The safety risk

If the vehicle is being driven and the button on the remote is pushed, the night shades may lower, blocking the driver's view, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Newmar will notify owners and dealers will install a relay to disable the operation of the driver and passenger night shade
by the remote when the ignition is in the ON position.  The recall began on July 28, 2017.  Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
