Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
SHOULD THE SLIDEROOM EXTEND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
ON CERTAIN CLASS C MINI-MOTOR HOMES, THE 12 VOLT SLIDEROOM WIRE CONNECTION TO THE CHASSIS IGNITION SYSTEM MAY BE WIRED INCORRECTLY CAUSING THE BRAKE ON THE SLIDEROOM MOTOR TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE IGNITION IS IN THE ‘ON’ OR ‘RUN’ POSITION.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE SLIDEROOM TO ‘RELAX’ AND POSSIBLY MOVE TO THE OUT POSITION WHILE IN TRANSIT IF THE TRAVEL LOCKS PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE ARE NOT INSTALLED AS RECOMMENDED.

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.
