What’s wrong with it?
THIS CONDITION COULD CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, AND IF THE SHORT DOES NOT CAUSE THE FUSE TO BLOW, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS C MOTOR HOMES CONSTRUCTED ON CHEVY CHASSIS.
THE ROUTING OF THE MAIN BATTERY FEED WIRING FROM THE COACH BATTERY TO THE DISTRIBUTION PANEL OF THE MOTOR HOME.
THE COACH BATTERY IS NOT THE ENGINE BATTERY.
THE COACH BATTERY PROVIDES SERVICE TO THE MOTOR HOME’S 12V APPLIANCES.
THE ROUTING ALLOWS IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF THE VEHICLE, AND OVER TIME, THE HEAT OF THE MANIFOLD DEGRADES THE SHIELDING OF THE WIRE EXPOSING THE WIRE TO THE METAL MANIFOLD.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
