2000–2001 Newmar Motorhome recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor home chassis. These vehicles may have a mis-routed wire harness that attaches to the brake pedal position switch. The wire could rub on the steering column, resulting in a short circuit and a blown fuse, causing a loss of stop lamp function.
💥 The risk
This would fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash.
🔧 The fix
Ford dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the wire harness to the brake pedal switch.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
