Unfused Solar Charging Circuit Can Cause Fire
The auxiliary solar charging port circuit in these motorhomes is not protected by a fuse.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire
Certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers in these motorhomes may become clogged, making them hard to activate or preventing them from discharging as expected.
Front Sway Bar May Loosen and Detach, Hurting Handling
The front sway bar mounting brackets in certain motor homes may not fit properly on the axle.
Water Heater Can Overheat and Scald Users
Certain motorhomes built between March 2014 and November 2015 are equipped with Atwood on-demand water heaters (models OD45, OD50, and OD50CW) that have a water and gas valve that may cause the water to overheat at the hot water tap.
LP Propane Hose May Harden and Leak, Creating Fire Risk
The high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose in certain motorhomes may harden over time, which can cause a propane leak at the crimp fitting.
