Transport Canada recalls

Structure#2019645December 18, 2019
39 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the slide-out mechanisms may activate on their own and cause the slide room to extend or retract without warning. This could happen while the motorhome is stopped or in motion. Safety Risk: If a slide-out room moves suddenly and without warning, it could create a risk of injury or a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a dealer to install a new controller and switch for the slide-out mechanism.
Engine#2017564November 16, 2017
27 units affected
On certain motorhomes, if the vehicle is parked with the engine running, exhaust gases could enter the vehicle through open windows, storage compartments and other openings in the floor or sidewall. As a result, occupants could be exposed to carbon monoxide, which could lead to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Correction: Dealers will install steel exhaust tips on the end of the exhaust pipe that will allow the vehicle exhaust to extend beyond the exterior of the vehicle.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT#19V295000April 11, 2019
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Dynamax Isata vehicles built on a RAM chassis and equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Risk: Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and Chrysler dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began May 6, 2019.
