The problem
On certain class c motor homes, the battery cable is routed in a location that allows exposure to high exhaust manifold temperatures, which could damage the cables.
The risk
An electrical short could occur, potentially resulting in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the cables for damage and location within the engine compartment. Should damage be present, the cables will be replaced. Owner notification began july 29, 2002.
