Exterior lighting: headlights: high/low beam dimmer switch

Newmar technical service bulletin RSB 508 for 2018 Newmar Essex.

Bulletin number
RSB 508
Component
Exterior lighting: headlights: high/low beam dimmer switch
Summary
Newmar Corporation has decided that certain 2018 Essex motorhomes, built on Freightliner Chassis, fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, ?Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.? On certain motorhomes, if the headlight high beams are activated, only the high beam bulbs illuminate. The intention of the high beam function on the affected coaches is to have both the high beam and low beam bulbs illuminate together. Issue: Driving a motorhome at night without the required illumination of the road may reduce the driver?s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
