Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes the battery cable may have been routed too close to the exhaust manifold.

Why it matters: This could cause the cable to melt, creating an electrical short, which could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and reroute and/or replace the battery cable free of charge. The recall began on February 28, 2005.
