If this happens, the brake lights may not turn on when the brakes are applied. rnrnSafety Risk: rnBrake lights that do not work properly could result in road users being confused of the driver's intentions, and increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnNewmar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealer to inspect the brake light switch. It will be replaced, if necessary.
