The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE USE OF A 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE 120V AC PANEL FOR AUDIO/VIDEO EQUIPMENT DOES NOT PROTECT THE CIRCUIT AGAINST COMPONENT FAILURES. THE CIRCUIT IS ONLY RATED FOR A 15 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER.
The risk
THE 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER USED ON THE AUDIO/VIDEO CIRCUIT EXCEEDED THE LOAD CAPACITY OF THE WIRE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER, AND INSTALL A 15 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 800-547-8015.
