NHTSA Recall Number – 19V-655/Transport Canada recall 2019-465

 

Operation Code: TCSBR8372100

Problem:  

Model year 2016 and 2017 19ft. Travel trailers may have the 1000 Watt inverter mounted on the lower bedframe wall with the inverter fuse mounted on the floor below. If the inverter comes away from the wall and makes contact with an uncovered inverter fuse there is a potential of an electrical, or thermal event which could result in property damage, and personal injury.

 

RANGE OF VEHICLES INVOLVED: 

AirstreameBay built between 6/9/2015 and 4/28/2017

Serial number range: 533511 to 540464

Note: Because our VINs do not run in a contiguous series, there will be units in the VIN range which will not be affected by this RECALL.

 

Warranty Reimbursement: 

A notice of this recall has been sent to affected retail owners. A copy of the Owner’s letter is included for your review. The customer may request that you complete the repair. If so, please follow the warranty reimbursement procedure. If you are requested to perform the repair for a retail customer, please complete the advised repair and send in a warranty claim referencing this recall number for reimbursement. The time allowed for repair is .50. Use operation code TTSBR8372100.

 

Service Action: 

Inspect inverter fuse holder location and move if it is located on a different surface as the inverter. The Inverter fuse will need to be relocated and secured to the same surface the inverter is located.

 

Equipment needed: 

  1. Cordless drill/driver
  2. 1/2″ wrench
  3. Adjustable wrench

 

Parts that may be needed:

( Please contact Customer support at 877-344-1076 if parts are needed )

511969-100 Fuse holder cover

 

Step 1.

The inverter and inverter fuse holder need to be inspected. Remove the mattress and the removable cover of the bed top.

Inspect for the placement of the fuse holder, and verify the plastic cover is present. If the plastic cover is missing it will need to be installed. Please contact Customer Service if a plastic fuse cover is needed. The 100 amp fuse holder and the inverter need to be mounted to the same surface meaning either both mounted to the floor or both mounted to the lower bed frame support.

See pictures below for reference.

 

This is incorrect the inverter is on the panel and fuse holder is on the floor.This is correct, the inverter is installed on the floor and the fuse holder is installed on the floor and has the plastic cover installed.This is correct, the inverter is installed on the panel and the fuse holder is installed on the panel and has the plastic cover installed.

 

If both components are mounted on either the floor or the lower bed frame and the plastic protective fuse cover is installed then no other steps are needed. If they are not mounted correctly go to step two.

 

Step 2.

If the fuse holder needs to be moved the following steps will need to be done.

The batteries will need to be disconnected to prevent arcing while moving the fuse holder.

 

Step 3

Remove the two screws that hold the fuse holder to the floor. If the cable is in the way of the screws you can  loosen the nut with a 1/2″ wrench.

 

Step 4

Relocate the fuse holder to the panel next to the inverter and attach it with 1/2″ screws or if there is room on the floor area the inverter could be removed from the vertical panel and mounted directly to the floor.

If you loosened the nuts for the wires they will need to be retightened at a torque rating of 12.5 ft. lbs. The cover (part number 511969-100 ) snaps in the holder by squeezing the cover and placing it in the four notches.

 

Step 5

Finish by hooking the battery back up and replacing the removable cover and mattress.
