The problem
On certain motor homes, a circuit breaker in the clearance light circuit does not protect the circuit from a too high amperage draw caused by a towed passenger vehicle.
The risk
The circuit breaker can overheat the wire and insulation to a point which could cause a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the defective circuit breakers. The recall began on november 8, 2004. Customers can contact country coach at 1-541-998-3720.
