2023 Newmar Dutch Star recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2023 Dutch Star motorhomes. The adjustable brake pedal may come into contact with the dash panel, resulting in unintentional brake engagement, which can cause the brakes to overheat and fail.
💥 The risk
Brake failure can increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will trim the dash panel to add more clearance at the brake pedal and dash panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 1, 2022. Owners may contact Newmar's customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
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.)
