Chronology :
On 5/3/24, through standard Brinkley RV Safety/Quality escalation procedures, the Customer Care Center identified a Claim with multiple component failures. An investigation was opened on 5/3/24. Initial investigations indicated potential concerns with over-current protection and refrigerator wiring size, although predicted failures were not replicated through extensive testing efforts. Interim findings were reviewed with the Brinkley Safety Committee on 5/31/24. The Safety Committee directed the testing team to continue testing all reasonably replicated scenarios. The testing team published a final report dated 6/19/24 indicating that despite lack of consistent failures in testing, the potential for safety-related failures still exists in the subject population, and investigations confirmed code compliance and regulatory precedent to further pursue a remedy. A formal recall is being initiated on 6/25/24.
