Technical Service Bulletin RSB 459 — 2017 NEWMAR VENTANA

NEWMAR CORPORATION HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN SPECIFIC MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS. THIS RECALL IS THE RESULT OF INFORMATION PROVIDED TO NEWMAR BY DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. NHTSA# 16V 481 TC# 2016-324 ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED BY NEWMAR CORPORATION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE FOUR SEPARATE ISSUES. 1) THE WIPER ARM MAY NOT PARK IN THE SAME LOCATION EVERY TIME. 2) IN HIGH TORQUE CONDITIONS SUCH AS A DRY WINDSHIELD, THE WIPER MOTOR CAN STALL. 3) WHEN THE WIPERS ARE TURNED ON FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN WASH, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE WIPERS WERE TURNED OFF. 4) THERE ARE CONDITIONS WHERE THE WIPER CONTROLS WOULD PUT THE MOTOR IN HIGH WITH THE FIRST PRESS OF THE HI/LO BUTTON WHERE IT SHOULD ALWAYS GO TO LOW AFTER A KEY CYCLE. IF THE WIPER SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING CORRECTLY IT COULD POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH.
