What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE BATTERY CABLES THAT EXIT THE REAR OF THE BATTERY STORAGE COMPARTMENT ARE NOT ADEQUATELY SECURED. SHOULD THE CABLES BECOME UNSECURED, THEY COULD COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT THAT THE CABLES COME IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, THE CABLE PROTECTIVE COVERING COULD EVENTUALLY MELT CAUSING A DIRECT SHORT IN THE 12-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL USE A TUBE CLAMP TO SECURE THE EXCESS LENGTH OF WIRE TO A STEEL TRUSS MEMBER ABOVE AND OUT OF THE WAY OF THE EXHAUST AND WILL ALSO ADD A HEAT SHIELD. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 10, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
