  • Accessories#2018630

    73 units affected

    On certain motorhomes, the motorized windshield shade on the driver's side could lower itself without warning while the vehicle is in motion. This could obstruct the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will repair the motorized windshield shade.

  • 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. In the event of a short circuit, an unprotected circuit could overheat, increasing the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. 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. The vehicles may be missing the rear reflectors, which is contrary to requirements of the standard. This could decrease vehicle conspicuity and potentially increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install the missing reflectors.

  • Seats And Restraints#2018101

    3 units affected

    Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 210 - Seat Belt Anchorages. Due to a design error, the seat belt bracket for the sofa may not meet the strength requirements of standard. In the event of a crash, the sofa seat belt anchorage would not properly restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will install an additional bracket to meet the requirements of the standard.

  • Accessories#2017613

    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. 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.
