Details

What's wrong: In the affected motor homes, the vehicle exhaust is located near a storage compartment where heat may build-up, causing the compartment to melt.

Why it matters: Heat build-up in the vehicle storage compartment increases the risk of fire.

The fix: Tmc will notify owners, and dealers will install a heat shield to prevent heat build-up in the storage compartment. The recall began on April 20, 2016.
