What can happen
If the fascia separates and contacts the driver or a passenger, a loss of vehicle control may result, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will secure the trim with screws, free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2016. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
