The problem
Certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis were produced with a body wiring harness with no protective conduit in the area under the driver's feet to reduce the potential for harness wear. The body wiring harness includes sdm wiring that could be damaged from chafing and wear by the vehicle operators.
The risk
This could result in inadvertent air bag deployment. A person may receive minor injuries, such as abrasions, from contact with the bag.
The fix
General motors/chevrolet division is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Chevrolet will inspect the wiring harness for potential damage, repair or replace the harness if required, and add conduit to all harnesses. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
