Official summary

Newmar Corporation has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety may exist in specific coaches. On certain units, the windshield wiper mechanism may contact the brake light switch. If the brake light switch or wiring is damaged, the brake lights may not illuminate. Non-functioning brake lights may not alert other motorists of the driverâ s intentions, increasing the risk of a crash.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
