Description
Newmar Corporation has decided that certain 2018 Bay Star and Bay Star Sport motorhomes fail to
comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, “Lamps,
Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.” On certain motorhomes, the front side marker lights are
not connected into the wiring harness.
Additionally, if the headlight high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate. The intention
of the high beam function on the affected coaches is to have both the high beam and low beam bulbs
illuminate together.
Issue: Driving a motorhome at night without the proper side marker lighting or the required headlight
illumination may reduce the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash and/or property damage.
Correction: Dealers will connect the front side marker lights to the wiring harness, and ensure the low
beam bulb and the high beam bulbs illuminate together during activation of the high beams.
Refer to the attached population list for specific coach and VIN numbers.
Recommended Action
Action: Inspect the coach to ensure the update is necessary by activating the headlights on the high beam
setting while inspecting the headlamps and marker lights.
If the update is necessary, contact your Service Account Manager at Newmar for authorization, and follow
the attached work instructions to complete the update.
