What was wrong

Defect

ON CERTAIN 45' MOTOR HOMES, AN INCORRECT BUSSBAR CABLE CONNECTOR WAS INSTALLED IN THE MAIN POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX. UNDER HIGH LOAD CONDITIONS, ARCING AND SHORTING COULD OCCUR WHICH CAN DESTROY THE BUSSBAR ASSEMBLY AND CAUSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE.

Risk

SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT-DOWN AND LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROADWAY COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS REPLACED THE INCORRECT 150 AMP BUSSBAR CABLE CONNECTOR WITH A 600 AMP BUSSBAR CABLE CONNECTOR. ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.
