Problem: On certain motorhomes, an incorrect 250-amp ground fuse was used to protect battery ground. The correct fuse was rated for 300 amps.

Risk: The incorrect fuse could cause sudden loss of electrical power resulting in the vehicle stalling or inoperable lights increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the 250-amp ground fuse with a 350-amp connector. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact western rv at 509-457-4133.
