4Newmar year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 57 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the engine than any other system: 13 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2019 Dutch Star, with 23.

NHTSA holds 173 recall campaigns naming Newmar vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.

Most complained-about Newmar models

Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.

What goes wrong on a Newmar

The systems named most often across every Newmar complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
