On certain motorhomes equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.

Certain motorhomes may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 302 – Flammability of Interior Materials. The shower door installed in the vehicle does not meet the requirements of the standard, which could enhance the spread of a flame in the event of a fire. This could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the shower door with a material that meets the requirements of the standard.
Electrical#2013217June 25, 2013
763 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the Battery Control Center (BCC) could fail while the vehicle is underway. This would cause the engine to stall and all electrical components to become inoperative. Engine stalling would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion. Failure of the lighting system may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver intentions. It could also compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness. In conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, these issues could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will correct the BCC electrical connection to the chassis.
