Recall 23V-469: 2019–2023 Newmar Bay Star, 2020–2023 Newmar Bay Star Sport and 1 more
Newmar Corporation recall for seat belts, reported to NHTSA on Jul 7, 2023, covering about 372 vehicles.
The problem
Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Bay Star, 2020-2023 Bay Star Sport, and 2022-2023 Super Star motorhomes. The seat belt brackets for the dinette seat belts were modified to avoid interference with the vehicle slide-out rollers in the floor. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 210, "Seat belt Assembly Anchorages" and 207, "Seating Systems."
The risk
Modified seat belt mounting brackets can fail to properly restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the seat belt mounting brackets, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 4, 2023. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300. Newmar's number for this recall is 604RSB.
