The dash gauge cluster screen has a defect with the glue that was used and is delaminating, this makes seeing information on the dash difficult, especially at night. This is extremely dangerous as important vehicle information safety information is not legible. The manufacturer is refusing to fix and is quoting more than $6000 for a replacement. My vehicle only has 28,000 miles and is stored in doors out of the sun.

What 2019 Newmar New Aire owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dash lighting brightness cannot be dimmed sufficiently to prevent a hazardous condition when driving at night.
Digital dash is very bright for nighttime driving. There is no way to dim the display enough.
The digital dash, even at the dimmest setting, is so bright it impairs night vision and makes night driving dangerous. A freightliner representative I spoke to said that this is a common complaint and most drivers just put a rag over it at night.
The freightliner chassis in my motorhome includes a digital instrument panel. At night the instrument panel will not dim enough, causing glare and making it difficult to see out of the windshield. I belive this is a safety issue that should be addressed.
