What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with an iota its-50r transfer switch. The models affected are four winds brand models: chateau, dutchmen, hurricane, windsport, magellan, fun mover, presidio, and mandalay. Wiring connections inside the transfer switch are not adequate and, as a result, the switch may overheat.
Why it matters: An overheated switch could cause it to fail and lead to a fire.
The fix: Thor motorcoach will notify owners and replace the iota transfer switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on November 16, 2012.
