The problem
Motor homes were built with clear plastic lenses and bulbs in the front turn signals instead of amber colored, which is in noncompliance with fmvss 108-lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. Consequence of defect: amber color signals indicate a warning to other motorists, however a clear/white signal may not be taken as a warning signal which may cause an accident.
The fix
Inventory of these motor homes held by manufacturer and dealers have been corrected by replacing lenses.
