The issue
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with a generator-ready option, elevated electrical loads (associated with RV use in higher ambient temperatures) could cause the power transfer switch to fail. This could allow the transfer switch to overheat and melt, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the transfer switch.
Description (français)
Sur certaines roulottes à sellette pouvant être munies d'une génératrice, des charges électriques élevées (associées à l'utilisation d'un véhicule récréatif lorsque la température ambiante est élevée) pourraient causer une panne de l'interrupteur de transfert d'alimentation, ce qui pourrait amener l'interrupteur à surchauffer et à fondre, et provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'interrupteur de transfert.
