The problem
On certain motor homes, the wire harness may have been routed too close to the exhaust tail pipe which may result in the cable melting and creating an electrical short.
The risk
This condition, if not addressed, could result in a fire, accident, injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will inspect, reroute and replace the wire harness free of charge. The recall began on february 7, 2006. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
