The issue
On certain motorhomes, the fasteners which secure the 20W solar panel to the roof-mounted air conditioner may loosen over time. This could allow the solar panel to separate from the vehicle and strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install locking nuts and apply thread locking compound in order to secure the solar panel.
Description (français)
Sur certaines autocaravanes, les pièces de fixation qui retiennent le panneau solaire de 20W au climatiseur monté sur le toit peuvent se desserrer à la longue. Cette situation pourrait causer la séparation du panneau solaire du véhicule, le panneau pourrait alors frapper un autre véhicule, un objet immobile ou un passant, ce qui entraînerait des dommages matériels et/ou des blessures. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser des écrous autofreinés et appliquer un enduit de blocage pour les filets afin d'arrimer le panneau solaire.
