Equipment:electrical:radio/tape deck/cd etc.
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with front overhead televisions, incorrect fasteners were used to secure the television located in the front overhead area of the motor home.
Risk: The television may become loose and possibly fall from its position which has the potential to impact the driver or passengers, resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.

Electrical system:wiring
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis and equipped with gas engines, a diode in the anti-lock braking system (abs) module may experience an electrical short.
Risk: The electrical short may cause an abs malfunction that would illuminate the abs warning light, or the module may overheat resulting in a burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. This condition may occur while the vehicle is being driven or unattended.
Fix: Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will install a new fuse in the abs circuit and install a heat shield over the abs module. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
Engine and engine cooling
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
Risk: These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Fix: Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.
Risk: An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.
Fix: Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. 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 samsung at 800-932-3837 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
