What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 Newmar Dutch Star, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
Driver side and Passenger side windows have faulty seals and in temperature conditions below 40 degrees and rainy conditions, these side windows fog up heavily. This is not covered on any warranty or recall. On most of the social media pages for Newmar and RV owners, this is a known issue with the windows on these vehicles and hundreds of owners are having to replace these windows spending thousands of dollars to ensure they are able to see out of these important windows to view their side mirrors. We are from Florida, purchased the RV used and on the first trip north, had this happen to us as we traveled north on the East Coast toward the NY area in November & January.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
