In owners' words

What NEW Aire owners report

Recent exterior lighting complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

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.
Complaint 11157247 · Dec 10, 2018 · 50 miles
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.
