What's wrong?
The recalled part is the entry door on 2010-2011 Newell Motor Home coaches, along with the wiring tied to that door system. The door is supposed to close against the body, latch securely, and keep the cabin opening sealed while the coach is parked or moving. The wiring should support that door function without creating an unintended release.
On affected coaches, a wiring short can interfere with the entry door system. When that short occurs, the door can open suddenly instead of staying latched. That means the door no longer performs its basic job of keeping the entry opening closed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The door can appear normal until the wiring short causes it to open suddenly.
Who's affected?
The same body-structure door component is listed for both model years.

| Units affected | 18 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the powered entry door operates during travel, it can distract the driver and allow a person who is not seated to fall out of the coach, causing injury or death. Keep passengers seated and schedule the recall work. Repair will be free at any franchised Newell dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Newell Motor Home is included in this recall.
- Contact Newell customer service at 1-888-963-9355 to confirm repair instructions for your VIN.
- Ask a franchised Newell dealer about the free entry-door safety interlock repair, which cuts electrical power to the door when the parking brake is released.
- Bring the recall notice if Newell mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V192 when you call.
- Keep passengers seated and the entry door secured until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Newell technician adds a safety interlock system to the entry door circuit. The interlock cuts all electrical power to the door when the parking brake is released, so a wiring short cannot power the door while the coach is moving. The recall service is performed free of charge. Newell's source remedy does not state a repair time, so ask the service desk how long the appointment will take.
