On certain motorhomes, the 120-volt connections associated with the automatic transfer switch (ATS) may not have been torqued correctly during vehicle assembly. This could result in loose connections, which could create a high resistance which could overheat and cause a fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will verify and ensure proper torque of all the ATS connections.
