What the defect is
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.
What could happen
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.
What gets fixed
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.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 22 April 1996.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
