Chronology :

This issue was discovered on November 21, 2021 when Product Compliance was alerted to a customer concern. An investigation was immediately launched where it was discovered the issue of leaking wastewater was already being evaluated by Product Development. Through the investigation it was confirmed that water leaking from the drainage system can reach the inverter. A total of eight field events were identified where the inverter had stopped functioning, though no thermal events had occurred. These events occurred between November 8, 2021 and December 3, 2021. Through discussion with Quality Control, a potential mold / mildew issue was also identified. It was determined the pump system allowed residual wastewater to remain in the collection box which provides an opportunity for the growth of mold / mildew. This was identified as an additional safety concern and added to the required remedy development. A meeting of the Product Safety committee was held on December 01, 2021 and the committee decided to issue a voluntary recall.

1 Pcs F02-2103 Flexible Coupler 3'' FOR RV and Camper Drainage Systems BLACK For RV Sewer Hose Coupler for RV Sewer Adapter to 3 inch
  • Displacement Compensation: Convert RV flexible drain hose system to a rigid pipe connectionThe flexible coupling can accommodate a certain degree of pipeline displacement, including axial expansion and contraction, radial deviation, and angular deflection. In the drainage systems of RVs and camperseBay logo, vibrations during vehicle operation and thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines caused by temperature changes are quite common. This connection method can effectively compensate for these displacements pipeline from cracking due to uneven stress or the loosening and leakage at the joints.
  • Vibration and Noise Reduction: The flexible coupling has excellent vibration reduction performance. It can absorb the vibrations and noises generated by the fluid flowing inside the pipeline, as well as the mechanical vibrations during vehicle driving. This helps to reduce the noise during the operation of the drainage system and improve the comfort inside the vehicle.
  • Easy Installation: Compared with some rigid connection methods, the flexible coupling is much simpler and more convenient to install. It is usually connected by means of hose clamps and other methods, eliminating the need for complex welding or threaded connection processes. This reduces the installation time and cost, and it is also easy to operate in a confined space, making it suitable for the limited space environment of RVs and camperseBay logo.
  • Good Sealing Performance: Through reasonable design and material selection, the flexible coupling can ensure excellent sealing performance, effectively avoiding the leakage of sewage in the drainage pipeline. Even when there is a certain amount of displacement or vibration in the pipeline, it can still maintain a tight connection, avoiding pollution of the vehicle and the surrounding environment by the sewage.
  • Strong Compatibility: In the drainage systems of RVs and camperseBay logo, it can conveniently connect pipelines of different parts and materials together, meeting the overall layout and functional requirements of the system.
