NHTSA Campaign Number: 20E058
Manufacturer Firefly Integrations, LLC
Components EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected 2,487
Summary
Firefly Integrations, LLC (Firefly) is recalling certain Multiplex G9 units used for controlling equipment and accessories in motorhomes. These units can fail if excessive voltage is applied, causing the components on the board to become damaged.
Remedy
Firefly has notified the RV manufacturers that purchased the affected multiplex units and dealers for those RV manufacturers will add an additional circuit module to the existing component board to provide reverse polarity and over-current protection. Owners may contact Firefly customer service at 1-574-825-4600.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Please be reminded of the following requirements:
Please be reminded that under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or introduce or deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety defect once the manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
We understand that Firefly may not be able to file the required recall completion rate reports since Firefly will not be doing the repairs directly.
G9 Protection Module – Installation Instructions
The following service technician instructions are for the installation of the G9 Protection Module to comply with the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHTSA) product safety recall. The G9 Protection Module will provide overvoltage protection for the G9 Electronic Control Module (ECM).
G9 Electronic Control Module (ECM)
G9 Protection Module
The G9 Protection Module is to be installed onto the G9 ECM with the following two steps:
Step 1 – Access the G9 ECM
Step 2 – Install the G9 Protection Module
(2.1) Power off system by turning the Main Power Switch to the off position (located just inside the entry door).
(2.2) Remove the external tooth washer nut and existing power cable from the G9 ECM power input stud.
(2.3) Attach G9 Protection Module onto the G9 Power Stud with external tooth washer nut and torque to 70 in/lbs.
(2.4) Install power cable onto G9 Protection Module stud with conical washer nut and torque to 70 in/lbs.
(2.5) Locate existing G9 ground wire connection and disconnect or cut wire.
(2.6a) Splice G9 Protection Module ground wire to the existing G9 ECM ground wire. Strip each ground wire 10mm, insert each wire fully into Wago 222-413 terminal block, move orange tab from the open to fully locked position.
(2.6b) Completed wiring shown.
(2.7) Turn on Main Power Switch and verify that the LED illuminates.
This concludes the G9 Protection Module Installation.
