Details

What's wrong: On certain recreational vehicles built on gm gmt610 rv chassis, due to a change in the fuel system of these chassis, increased pressure results in the fuel return line. The fuel return line is used to provide a fuel tap for generators and auxiliary engines.

Why it matters: Operating the generator while the vehicle engine is running will stall the generator due to overfueling. Starting, priming or operating the generator with the vehicle engine running could result in fuel overflowing the carburetor, flooding the generator engine and spilling fuel into the generator…

The fix: Gm/onan advised jayco to stop delivery of these units until a solution to the problem is developed. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign.
