Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was unable to dim the dash cluster lights below 100% brightness using the manufacturer supplied dimming controls. I attempted adjustments while driving at night on a freeway with the headlights on, while parked in a rest area with the engine running and headlights on and off, and with the ignition on accessory without the engine running. This creates dangerous bright glare to the drivers eyes making driving very difficult at night.”
NHTSA complaint #11387122, filed 2021-01, 1,250 miles“The contact owns a 2020 Newmar Dutch Star RV. The contact stated that while the RV was parked and occupied, the contact attempted to start the RV and became aware that the instrument panel was displaying a black screen. The dealer was contacted. The RV was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The RV was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the RV was out of warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11697220, filed 2025-11, 27,000 miles“The dash displaying the instrument panel is bubbling up and it prevents you from reading your instruments. The glare it causes is dangerous. Hearing from other customers that own the same RV tells me this is a common issue and there should be a recall.”
