What this recall means for you
Certain 2022 travel trailers equipped with a 50-amp shore power inlet may have lug bolts made of metal that is too hard. Because the bolts cannot be tightened properly, the wiring connection at the inlet can become loose.
A loose wiring connection can cause an electrical arc or short circuit, which raises the risk of a fire. Owners should watch for signs of trouble at the shore power inlet and stop using the connection if they notice anything unusual.
An authorized dealer will inspect the power inlet and replace it if needed, at no cost to the owner. Owners can contact Alliance RV customer service at 1-574-218-7165, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
