THE LOW STRENGTH ADHESIVE TAPE USED TO SECURE A SHIELD FOR THE WASHING MACHINE MOTOR CAN FAIL. IF THE SHIELD IS NOT COMPLETELY SECURE, SUDS AND WATER CAN GET UNDER THE SHIELD AND TO THE MOTOR SWITCH, CAUSING OVERHEATING OF THE SWITCH.

The risk

OVERHEATING OF THE MOTOR SWITCH CREATES A FIRE HAZARDWITHIN THE TRAVEL TRAILER.

The remedy

RESECURE THE SHIELD OVER THE MOTOR WITH A MORE ROBUST ADHESIVE, AND REPLACE THE MOTOR SWITCH WITH A SWITCH THAT IS MORE RESISTANT TO WATER AND CONTAMINANTS.

Notes

SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT: WASHING MACHINES.EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: 24 INCH LAUNDRY CENTERS IN TRAVEL TRAILERS.

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.
