Description

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