08- Seats And Restraints#2013449
30 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the seat belt(s) may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies. Due to a defect in manufacturing, the seat belt buckle may not release as required by the standard. This could hinder egress from the vehicle in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace affected seatbelt buckles.
- Other#2013172
6 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the fasteners which secure the 20W solar panel to the roof-mounted air conditioner may loosen over time. This could allow the solar panel to separate from the vehicle and strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install locking nuts and apply thread locking compound in order to secure the solar panel.
- Other#2012088
266 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the cable for the transmission range indicator "PRND321" on the instrument cluster may be damaged by a sharp edge on the shift lever arm. If the indicator cable is cut, the indicator will remain in the "1" position (first gear) regardless of what gear is actually selected. With no gear indication, the operator may inadvertently select an incorrect gear, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Ford dealers will replace the transmission selector arm and indicator assembly.
- Electrical#2011283
65 units affected
On certain motorhomes, a one inch plug-in circuit breaker (single pole 15, 20 or 30 amps) may have a non-conforming "spring clip" plug-in assembly that breaks or fails to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection. Over time, this could lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point. This could lead to a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace affected circuit breakers.
- Electrical#2011207
133 units affected
On certain motorhomes, a wire harness mounted under the vehicle may contact the right exhaust manifold heat shield. Should the wire harness become damage, it could result in an electrical short, which could cause intermittent operation of the electrical systems (wipers, lights, etc.), vehicle shut-down, and/or lead to a fire. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash. Failure of the lighting system may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness, which could increase the risk of a crash. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiring harness. In addition, the harness will be re-routed to ensure sufficient clearance to the heat shield.
- Accessories#2011062
14 units affected
Certain refrigerators used in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) contain either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch to interrupt power when it detects high temperatures that could lead to a fire. An insufficient response time can result in the power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a thermocouple with a faster response time for all refrigerators with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch.
- Brakes#2010400
48 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake calipers.
- Electrical#2010192
11 units affected
Certain vehicles equipped with a Remy alternator may develop a low resistance short within the voltage regulator. In some cases, if the circuit does not open, the low resistance short could eventually generate enough heat to result in an engine compartment fire, which could cause property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace any suspect alternator.
