The issue
On certain motorhomes, the roof vent for the optional 4-door refrigerator was incorrectly located allowing excessive heat build-up which has the potential to ignite surrounding materials, resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will relocate the refrigerator roof vent.
Description (français)
Sur certaines autocaravanes, la trappe de pavillon du réfrigérateur 4 portes installé en option est située au mauvais endroit, ce qui permet une accumulation excessive de chaleur qui risque de mettre le feu aux matériaux adjacents et de provoquer un incendie pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages au véhicule ou à la propriété d'autrui. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer ailleurs la trappe de pavillon du réfrigérateur.
