The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI-MOTOR HOMES, MODEL NUMBER 305. THE BATTERY CABLE THAT PROVIDES POWER FROM THE COACH BATTERY TO THE GENERATOR WAS ROUTED SO IT CROSSES OVER THE TOP OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD.
Risk
UNDER EXTREME TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE THE CABLE'S INSULATION TO MELT RESULTING IN A HIGH RESISTANCE SHORT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE.
What owners should do
COACHMEN WILL INSPECT TO DETERMINE IF THE WIRES ARE PROPERLY ROUTED. IF NECESSARY, THE WIRES WILL BE RE-ROUTED.
