When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.

Coachmen will be working with intellitec to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The recall began on July 14, 2005. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-1174.
