Recall 2011296

The issue

On certain motorhomes equipped with a Powerglide chassis, the engine exhaust pipe is located too close to the vehicle's floor, allowing heat from the exhaust pipe to melt nearby insulation. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will fasten a heat shield to the floor and install an insulating sock around the exhaust pipe.

Description (français)

Sur certaines autocaravanes munies d'un châssis Powerglide, le tuyau d'échappement du moteur se trouve trop près du plancher du véhicule, ce qui permet à la chaleur du tuyau d'échappement de faire fondre de l'isolant se trouvant à proximité. Cela pourrait provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront fixer un bouclier thermique au plancher et poser un bas isolant autour du tuyau d'échappement.
