- Affected:

- Defect:
- Newmar corporation (newmar) is recalling certain model year 2011 through 2013 ventana class a, dutch star class a, and mountain aire class a model motor homes manufactured from january 25, 2010, through september 19, 2012, built on freightliner brand xb and xc custom chassis. the chassis are equipped with connectors for diode jumpers that may come loose, resulting in an open circuit. two circuits are affected: the one that disengages the cruise control with brake pedal use, and the one that illuminates the brake lights with brake pedal use.
