  Problème : Sur certaines caravanes, le câblage de 12 V du panneau de distribution pourrait avoir été mal installé. Par conséquent, le câblage pourrait être mal protégé. Si cela se produisait, le câblage pourrait surchauffer et fondre avant que le disjoncteur ne se déclenche. Risques pour la sécurité : Un câblage qui surchauffe et fond pourrait créer un risque d'incendie. Mesures correctives : Afin de réduire les risques pour la sécurité, Forest River recommande de ne pas brancher la caravane jusqu'à ce que les réparations à faire dans le cadre de ce rappel aient été effectuées. Forest River doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur caravane chez un concessionnaire pour faire corriger le câblage.

  Sur certaines caravanes classiques, l'interrupteur de sécurité pourrait ne pas être sous tension constamment et pourrait être débranché de la batterie de maison de la caravane lors de la mise hors-service du dispositif de débranchement de batterie. Si cela se produisait, les freins du véhicule tracteur ne se serreraient pas en cas d'un détachement de la caravane, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau faisceau de câbles pour l'interrupteur de sécurité.

  Dans certains véhicules munis d'extincteurs Kidde à poignée et à robinet en plastique noir, les extincteurs pourraient se boucher ou nécessiter une force excessive pour être actionnés. De plus, la buse pourrait se séparer du robinet avec assez de force pour causer des blessures, et empêcher le fonctionnement de l'extincteur. En cas d'incendie, une défaillance de l'extincteur pourrait causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les propriétaires recevront des instructions sur la manière d'inspecter l'extincteur afin de vérifier s'il fait l'objet d'un rappel. Des extincteurs de rechange seront fournis directement par Kidde. Remarque : Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur les extincteurs faisant l'objet d'un rappel, veuillez consulter le site Web suivant : <a href="https://inmarmarketaction.com/kidde/Kidde284CF/">www.kidde.com</a>.
