What this recall means for you
Some motorhomes were built with an inverter that has an internal ground-neutral bond, plus an extra external ground-neutral bond added during wiring. Having more than one ground-neutral bond in the same electrical system can allow electrical current to reach the metal surfaces of the coach, creating a risk of electric shock when a person touches them.
An electrical shock can increase the risk of injury. The manufacturer reports that all affected units have already been remedied, so the manufacturer will not send owner notification letters. If you have questions about whether your vehicle is affected, contact Foretravel customer service at 1-800-955-6226.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls on the NHTSA website.
