Details

What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel trailers, there is a possibility of overloading the slideout resettable circuit breaker and the slideout control switch.

Why it matters: The slideout control switch may fail under high current loads, and overheat possibly causing a fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the slideout control switch and replace the slideout resettable circuit breaker with a slow blow, ceramic cartridge fuse and fuse holder assembly. The recall began on November 22, 2005.
