The problem
On certain motor homes, the use of a 20 amp circuit breaker in the 120v ac panel for audio/video equipment does not protect the circuit against component failures. The circuit is only rated for a 15 amp circuit breaker.
The risk
The 20 amp circuit breaker used on the audio/video circuit exceeded the load capacity of the wire. This could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will remove the 20 amp circuit breaker, and install a 15 amp circuit breaker. The recall began on august 29, 2005. Owners may contact country coach at 800-547-8015.
