The defect
THE FUSE FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CIRCUIT MAY BE UNDER RATED FOR THESE MOTORHOMES. THE CIRCUIT REQUIRES A 20 AMP FUSE AND A 15 AMP FUSE MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. ALSO THE CIRCUIT CONNECTING THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO THE FUSE PANEL INCORRECTLY STATES 15 AMP.
The risk
IF THE 15 AMP FUSE IS INSTALLED AND THE DRIVER HAS NOT MANUALLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON, THE FUSE WILL BLOW WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS A RETURNED ON. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL THEN GO OFF INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE ANY 15 AMP FUSE IN THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP FUSE. A LABEL WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED ON THE POSITIVE WIRE FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AT THE FUSE PANEL AND THE LETTERING ON THE FUSE PANEL WHICH PRESENTLY READS 15 AMP WILL BE COVERED.
