NHTSA recall 05V294000

What's wrong: On certain rear diesel motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.

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

The fix: Coachmen will be working with intellitec to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The recall began on July 14, 2005.
