What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE SWITCH WHICH OPENS THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY OR DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING. ALSO, MOISTURE CAN INTRUDE INTO THE CONTROL MODULE. ANY ONE OF THESE CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE THE SLIDE OUT ROOM TO OPEN WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF.

The risk

IF THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM OPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INMOTION, IT CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

The remedy

INSPECT THE SLIDE-OUT SWITCH AND THE CONTROL MODULE. DAMAGED SWITCHES WILL BE REPAIRED, AND THE CONTROL MODULE WILL BE REPLACED OR FITTED WITH A PROTECTIVE COVER, AS NECESSARY.

Notes

SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT: ELECTRICAL SWITCH.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS AND TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITHSLIDE-OUT ROOMS.

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.
