Recall Summary:
On certain Mini-motorhomes equipped with a kitchen slide-out, some 120-volt electrical wires underneath the kitchen sink are routed in such a manner that they could make contact with abrasive components, while the slide-out is being operated and chafe the protective covering creating a possible short circuit. In addition, there is an edge on the slide-out floor that could come in contact with 120-volt electrical wires routed down through the main floor also creating a possible short circuit.
How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace any damaged wiring and also install a flexible cord and plastic wiring conduit to protect the 120-volt wiring against chafing.
