In the affected vehicles, the circuit wire leading from the coach's power system to the battery is incorrectly connected to a 150 amp fuse, however, the wire is only rated for a maximum load of 120 amps.
The risk
An overloaded wire increases the risk of a fire.

Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will correct the wires at the fuse holder, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2017. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA #8495-1.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
