Item Affected: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Date Announced: 06/22/2017
Description of Recall: ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLED IN THE REAR OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT COULD CONTACT THE TOP METAL FINS OF THE REFRIGERATOR CONDENSER COIL. THE HEATING COIL AND FINS COULD REACH TEMPERATURES THAT APPROACH THE TEMPERATURE RATING OF THE WIRING, AND THE METAL FINS HAVE SHARP EDGES THAT COULD CUT OR ABRADE THE SHEATHING OF THE WIRING.
Conequence: THE MOVEMENT OF THE TRAILER, COMBINED WITH THE NORMAL REFRIGERATOR MOVEMENTS AND THE EFFECT OF THE HEAT, COULD CAUSE THE WIRING TO BE ABRADED, WEAR THROUGH THE WIRE INSULATION, AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. IF SUCH SHORTING OCCURRED, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Action Need To Fix It: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE REFRIGERATOR, ADD A PROTECTIVE COVER TO THE WIRING, AND ANCHOR OR RE-ROUTE THE WIRING AWAY FROM THE REFRIGERATOR COIL. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 24, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AERO COACH AT 1-574-537-0700.
Notes: CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Item Affected: EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
Date Announced: 06/22/2017
Description of Recall: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAVEL TRAILERS. THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN AND THE COOKTOP PRODUCES NEGATIVE PRESSURE THAT CAUSES THE FLAMES ON THE COOKTOP TO REVERSE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BURNER HEAD, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME. IF THE FLAME IS EXTINGUISHED, LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS COULD LEAK INTO THE TRAILER.
Conequence: THE PRESENCE OF LP GAS IN THE TRAILER COULD RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OF PERSONS PRESENT IN THE TRAILER OR POSSIBLY AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT THAT THE LP GAS IS IGNITED BY A SPARK.
Action Need To Fix It: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A DROP-IN BURNER BOX KIT WHICH WILL ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE WHEN THE MICROWAVE OVEN AND THE COOKTOP ARE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Notes: OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 15, 1998.
