Newmar Corporation
NHTSA Campaign: 23V469000 SAFETY RECALL
372 Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jul 7, 2023
Safety Issue:

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Bay Star, 2020-2023 Bay Star Sport, and 2022-2023 Super Star motorhomes. The seat belt brackets for the dinette seat belts were modified to avoid interference with the vehicle slide-out rollers in the floor.

Potential Risk:
Modified seat belt mounting brackets can fail to properly restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will replace the seat belt mounting brackets, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 4, 2023. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 604RSB.
