Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4,106 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Newmar vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 29 times before this, most recently in November 2020 as 20V719000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 32 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 77 complaints with NHTSA, 25 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2018, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V108000 (structure), 25V431000 (structure), 23V469000 (seat belts), 23V138000 (latches/locks/linkages).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Newmar Corporation with NHTSA on July 27, 2021 as campaign 21V571000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
