NHTSA recall 02V193000

What's wrong: 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…

Why it matters: If a short circuit occurs in either situation, the circuit breaker will trip. However, if the breaker fails to trip, arcing from the short circuit could ignite any combustible material or items that may be stored in the kitchen sink cabinet and start a fire.

The 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. Owner notification began August 7, 2002.
