# 21V-082 recall: Newmar Dutch Star and Kountry 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:** 21V-082
**Manufacturer:** Newmar Corporation
**Component:** EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
**Filed:** February 17, 2021
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=21V082

## The problem

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2021 Kountry Star and 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.

## The safety risk

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

## The remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and replace it as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on April 12, 2021.  Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
