What's wrong?
The headlights on 2015-2018 Newmar London Aire motorhomes use separate low beam and high beam bulbs. The low beams light the road closer to the coach, while the high beams add longer-range illumination for dark roads. In the intended setup, both bulbs are supposed to stay on when the high beams are selected.
On affected motorhomes, selecting high beams turns on only the high beam bulbs. The low beam bulbs stay off, so the headlight system does not provide the combined light pattern used in the original headlight test. That leaves less road illumination than intended, reducing the driver's visibility.
There is no warning sign before failure. The noticeable clue is weaker road lighting on high beam than expected, because the low beam bulbs do not come on with the high beam bulbs until the lighting setup is repaired.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 London Aire model years, all tied to the headlight system.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the high beam and low beam bulbs do not illuminate, reduced light output can limit the driver's visibility and increase crash risk. Avoid relying on the vehicle after dark until the lighting issue is addressed. Repair will be free at any franchised Newmar dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2018 Newmar London Aire is included in this recall.
- Contact Newmar customer service or a franchised Newmar dealer before scheduling, because this page lists the remedy status as still under development.
- Reference recall number 17V723 when you call so the service desk can identify the headlight recall.
- Ask about the free repair that changes the headlight wiring so the low beams stay illuminated with the high beams.
- Avoid nighttime driving until the repair is complete if the reduced high-beam light output affects visibility.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is not listed as available yet. Once Newmar opens the repair, a Newmar technician will modify the lighting system so the high beam and low beam bulbs illuminate together when the high beams are turned on. Parts and labor will be free under the recall. Newmar has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you paid for a related lighting repair before the recall repair opened, keep the repair paperwork and ask Newmar customer service how to submit documented expenses.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V723?
Recall 17V723 covers 41 2015-2018 Newmar London Aire motorhomes built on Daimler Trucks chassis with a headlight wiring issue. When high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate instead of both high and low beams, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk.
What should I do if my 2015-2018 Newmar London Aire is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome is included in recall 17V723. If it is, contact a franchised Newmar service center or Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712. Reference recall 17V723 and ask for the free headlight-beam modification.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and Newmar's remedy says DTNA dealers will modify affected motorhomes free of charge so both high and low beams illuminate when the high beams are turned on.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is reduced forward visibility when the high beams are turned on. If the low beam bulbs stay off, the road has less light than intended, increasing crash risk. Newmar's free repair changes the vehicle so both beams illuminate together in high-beam mode.
What if I bought my Newmar London Aire used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall eligibility follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific London Aire is included, then call a franchised Newmar service center and reference recall 17V723.
