ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
The build up of heat in the wiring from the loose power connection can increase the risk of a fire.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
The build up of heat in the wiring from the loose power connection can increase the risk of a fire.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
If the vehicle can be shifted into reverse without the brakes being applied, the vehicle may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the parking brake does not fully engage, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of personal injury or a crash. A parking brake that drags may result in a wheel end fire.
Two 2016 NEWMAR BAY STAR SPORTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
