Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes equipped with kwikee brand electric entry step built with a control unit manufactured by american technologies, may develop an electrical short during cold weather, allowing for the potential of the plastic case to ignite.

Why it matters: This will make the step inoperable and possibly result in a risk of personal injury, vehicle or other property damage.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace all american technologies controls associated with the kwikee brand electric entry step free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2006.
