Summary
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Canyon Star recreational vehicles manufactured June 5, 2014, to September 6, 2016. These vehicles have a wheelchair access door with a power door lock that may open while the vehicle is in motion if the keyfob button is pressed accidentally.
Consequence
If the wheelchair access door opens while the vehicle is being driven, it could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will add a relay harness to prevent the keyfob button from opening the door while the vehicle is in motion. The recall began on October 18, 2016. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300.
