Certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis could have a problem with the rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM). This could cause the tail lights not to work properly. Note: This recall replaces FL-856 (Transport Canada recall 2020-336). Motorhomes that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Brake lights or turn signals that do not work could cause a following driver not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to schedule a repair. The service facility will install a new wiring harness bypass.
On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis, the driver may not be able to dim the lights on the instrument panel to a low level. As a result, light from the instrument panel could cause glare while driving at night. Canadian regulations require that the instrument panel lights can be dimmed to a lower level.
Glare from bright instrument panel lights could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis, an incorrect valve stem stabilizer may have been used on the single drive axle. This could result in the incorrect stabilizer to become dislodged from the wheel and allow the valve stem extension for the inner wheel to contact the outer wheel, potentially causing damage to the valve stem. If the valve stem we to be damaged, it could cause a loss of air pressure in the inner tire, which may overload the outer tire and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will inspect and replace the inner wheel valve stem stabilizer as necessary.
