## NHTSA's summary

Daimler Trucks North America has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in specific motorhomes built on Freightliner chassis \(NHTSA\# 17V 451\). In response, Newmar has filed recall NHTSA\# 17V 497 and TC\# 2017\-389. Issue: On certain motorhomes built on Freightliner XCR chassis, a battery cable mounting bracket may not have been installed at the plant per installation drawings.
