# 18V-062 recall: Newmar Dutch Star and Ventana

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

**Campaign:** 18V-062
**Manufacturer:** Newmar Corporation
**Component:** EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
**Filed:** January 19, 2018
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V062

## The problem

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ventana, Ventana LE and Dutchstar motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis.  The low beam headlights do not also illuminate as intended when the high beam headlights are activated, reducing the driver's visibility.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

## The safety risk

If the driver has reduced visibility, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will reprogram the Freightliner chassis module, free of charge.  The recall began on February 9, 2018.  Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
