- The problem
- The e-z slide-out room can operate unexpectedly. Water can cause an electrical short in the slide-out room control relay.
- The risk
- If the slide-out room operates unexpectedly, the motor home width will increase which could lead to an accident if traveling or property damage could occur while the motor home is parked.
- The fix
- Dealers will install a replacement control relay in a waterproof location on these motor homes.
