What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2016 King Aire vehicles manufactured March 9, 2015, to September 14, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without an emergency exit window over the driver's side dinette table.

The risk

The absence of an exit window may delay or prevent exit from the vehicle in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the window, and if necessary install egress window, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2015. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-574-773-7791.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
