- Electrical#2018459
7 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the 12-volt main power wire was not connected to a circuit breaker during the manufacturing process.

Correction: Dealers will re-route the wire and connect it to the circuit breaker on the power converter.
- Lights And Instruments#2018383
7 units affected
Certain motorhomes may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices.

- Suspension#2018302
34 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the rear axle U-bolts may not have been properly tightened during installation.

- Seats And Restraints#2018101
3 units affected

6,579 units affected
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.

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.

- Visual System#2017434
33 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the windshield wiper system may have been incorrectly installed and secured. This could result in the wiper system being loose, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiper system to verify that the original recall repair was completed correctly, and will repair as necessary. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2017-078 and 2017-172. A portion of vehicles repaired under the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
- Visual System#2017172
454 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the windshield wiper system may have been incorrectly installed and secured. This could result in the wiper system being loose, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiper system for correct installation, and if required, the wiper nut(s) will be tightened to specification.
- Structure#2017037
5 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the hinge assemblies of the rear cargo door may have been manufactured incorrectly. The weld on the hinge assembly had been ground down during manufacturing to ensure clearance when installed on a door. The grinding of the weld weakened the joint and, as a result, if the door were to be opened and the hinge assembly were to fail, the door could come down with more force than normal, increasing the risk of injury to a person standing nearby. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hinge assembly and replace as necessary.
- Structure#2015529
1,468 units affected
On certain motorhomes equipped with Lippert Components Inc. electric entry steps, an internal bolt on the steps that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps could fracture. This results in the fan gear disengaging from the steps, which could cause the steps to stop in an unexpected position and appear to be loose or unstable. If the steps become unstable, it could cause a person to fall, resulting in injury. Correction: Dealers will install a step retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, and all bolts of the mechanism will also be replaced.
- Other#2014184
3 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the auxiliary generator exhaust system may be routed too close to the onboard propane storage tank, and terminate at the edge of the vehicle under a slide-out room. This could cause the propane inside the tank to become heated, increasing the pressure and causing venting of the safety valve, which could increase the risk of a fire. Also, the exhaust could enter the vehicle, creating a risk of axphyxiation. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an updated exhaust pipe with a revised routing.
- Brakes#2012182
15 units affected
On certain motorhomes, long periods of non-driving may cause the brake calipers to stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to a soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake calipers.
