NHTSA recall 10V228000
Electrical System · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: These motor homes may contain a defective crimp connection in the auxiliary battery cable assembly. The defective connection may result in an inadequate electrical connection or disengagement of the cable. Resultant electrical arcing and overheating may generate sufficient heat for ignition of surrounding materials.
Why it matters: Failure of the connection may result in a vehicle fire.
The fix: Newmar will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on August 2, 2010.
