Defect description
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain model year 2017 King Aire motorhomes manufactured January 22, 2016, to October 19, 2016. Water may leak into the turn signal module.

Safety risk
If the driver cannot see the speedometer and RPM displays, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
