What’s wrong with it?
IF THE SAFETY FEATURES DO NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY, THE HEATING SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE HEATING, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.
ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES EQUIPPED WITH INTERNATIONAL THERMAL RESEARCH (ITR)HURRICANE HOT WATER HEATERS, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY FEATURES IN SOME OF THE SYSTEMS PROTECTING AGAINST OVERHEATING AND POTENTIAL FIRE SITUATION.

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.
