On certain motorhomes equipped with Workhorse Custom Chassis, the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip may fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper comes loose, a fuel leak may result in the underhood area which may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip.

On certain motorhomes, incorrect software programmed into the instrument panel cluster may not allow certain driver warnings, required by CMVSS 101 and 105, to be displayed. As a result of this incorrect software, the instrument cluster may fail to illuminate warning lamps indicating brake system failure. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
On certain vehicles, the driver and passenger three-point shoulder harness seat belts may not have been installed properly. The seat pedestal brace which holds the seat belt harness in place was not installed on some of the affected motorhomes. In others, the seat pedestal brace was installed but the four tec bolts utilized to hold the brace in place were not. The presence of these defects may cause the seat belt to malfunction in the event of an accident, which could in turn result in injury or death to the occupants of the driver's seat or the passenger's seat. Correction: Dealers will inspect below the cockpit floor to determine if the motorhome is missing the tec bolts only or if both the seat pedestal brace and the tec bolts are missing. Dealer will affect repairs.
