What's wrong?
The decorative column cover in 2020-2021 Newell P50 motor coaches is a Naugahyde-covered wooden half circle at the base of the steering column. It attaches with Velcro to the kick panels on both sides of the column and finishes the area around the driver's footwell, close to the brake pedal.
On affected coaches, the Velcro fastening does not hold the cover securely after a blunt impact from the driver's foot. If the cover is knocked loose, it can move into the pedal area and become lodged under the brake pedal. That blocks normal pedal travel and interferes with the driver's ability to apply the brakes.
There is no warning sign before failure. The cover can look normal until it is hit and comes loose, so a driver should treat any loose trim near the pedals as a brake-pedal obstruction risk.
Who's affected?
Both model years identify the decorative column cover near the steering column as the part tied to the hydraulic brake pedal linkage.

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?
A loose decorative cover can lodge under the brake pedal and interfere with stopping the coach, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the cover shifts into the pedal area, so schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Newell dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2021 Newell P50 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Newell dealer to schedule the free replacement apron cover that keeps the center-console cover from lodging under the brake pedal.
- Remove and discard the decorative center-console cover if Newell instructs you to do so before the dealer installs the replacement cover.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 20V367 (Newell recall 124) when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Keep the driver footwell clear and stop driving if the cover interferes with the brake pedal.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Newell technician removes and discards the decorative center console column cover, then installs the replacement apron cover. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Newell can also arrange a qualified service center in the field. Under Newell's reimbursement plan, Newell supplies the needed parts and pays the service center or reimburses the owner. If you already paid for this repair, contact Newell customer service with your repair paperwork to claim reimbursement.
