Normal use of the fog lights could cause the diode in the radio circuit to overheat and possibly cause a fire. Owners are asked to not use the fog lights until this situation is corrected. Although the georgetown motor homes were not equipped with fog lights, the wiring for the fog lights is in the dash harness, and therefore, contains the defect.
