In response, Newmar is publishing recall NHTSA# 16V 721 TC# 2016-488. On certain motorhomes built with a heavier adjustable straight foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released. If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on the brake configuration of the trailer. A towed device with incorrectly operating brakes may increase the risk of a crash.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10116262-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10116262-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10116262","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null},{"id":"clutch","name":"Clutch","parent":"powertrain"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"NEWMAR","model":"DUTCH STAR","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
