Newmar Corporation: Bay Star and Canyon Star Motorhomes Recalled for Entry Door Latch Failure

Agency Publication Date: March 2, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling 151 motorhomes, including 2021-2023 Bay Star, 2023 Bay Star Sport, and 2023 Canyon Star models. The entry door latch on these vehicles can fail, which may prevent the door from opening. This defect can leave occupants unable to enter or exit the motorhome, and Newmar dealers will inspect and replace the door latch assembly for free.

Risk

If the entry door latch fails, occupants may become trapped inside the vehicle or unable to enter it. This inability to exit quickly during an emergency, such as a fire or medical crisis, significantly increases the risk of serious injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's registration or purchase documents to confirm if you own a 2021-2023 Bay Star, 2023 Bay Star Sport, or 2023 Canyon Star motorhome.
  2. Contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 to verify if your specific unit is part of recall 597R.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Newmar dealer to have your entry door latch inspected and replaced if necessary at no cost to you.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
