Details
What's wrong: The battery cable that provides power from the coach battery to the generator was routed so it crosses over the top of the catalytic converter heat shield.
Why it matters: Under extreme temperature conditions, this could cause the cable's insulation to melt resulting in a high resistance short that could potentially lead to a fire.
The fix: Coachmen will inspect to determine if the wires are properly routed. If necessary, the wires will be re-routed.
