recall on the iota its-50r but only includes newer models with the same relay transfer switch. Googling produced many forums with content exact to our issue, some with meltdowns, some with fires. Iota engineering has yet to issue a recall, despite these life threatening safety issues. *Js
Stationary: equipped with an iota its-50r, transfer switch is experiencing failure and heats. Bypassing the delay causes the switch to work when it otherwise won't. There is a recall on the iota its 50r issues by thor and the 2007 damon daybreak is not a currently included product line - but should be.

though it has defective brake calibers. 2001 Damon daybreak rv only has 16k miles. It would be wise to advise all workhorse p32 chassis rv owners that their rv could catch fire or fail to stop and be involved in an accident. I would like to encourage the dot to force workhorse/international to do the right thing and recall this chassis and replace the brake calipers.
