- The risk
- If the brake lights do not illuminate, other motorists will be unaware of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2021. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.

Is my vehicle affected?
Being on this list means your year, make and model fall inside campaign 21V082000. It does not mean your individual vehicle does: a campaign covers a range of VINs built in a specific window, and vehicles either side of that window are untouched.
Check the 17-character VIN from the driver-side dashboard or door jamb against NHTSA's lookup. If it is covered, the dealer must do the work free of charge, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage.
