Newmar Corporation in the affected vehicles, when the windshield wipers are turned off, the headlights may also turn off.
The short version
Newmar Corporation reported a problem with the visibility rear window wiper/washer. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, when the windshield wipers are turned off, the headlights may also turn off. Additionally, the wiper arms may stop in an incorrect location blocking the driver's view, and the wiper motor may stall when under load.
If the headlights go out or the wiper system does not operate properly, the driver's visibility may be adversely affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners, and Freightliner dealers will update the wiper software, free of charge.
