Certain refrigerators used in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) contain either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch to interrupt power when it detects high temperatures that could lead to a fire. An insufficient response time can result in the power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a thermocouple with a faster response time for all refrigerators with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch.
On certain motorhomes, the dinette area seatbelts may not conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 210 - Seatbelt Assembly Anchorages. The final design did not include the steel plate as required by the Standard. During a crash, stress can cause the attachment to tear and allow the anchor to separate from the body of the vehicle Failure of the seatbelt anchorage to restrain the occupant as intended would increase the risk of personal injuries during a crash. Correction: Dealers will install additional seatbelt anchorage reinforcement plates.
Certain motorhomes may be missing a stove partition designed to isolate the furnace return air. Should this be the case, and if the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove, the stove flame may go out while propane gas continues to flow. A propane gas leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire or an explosion, which could cause property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a stove partition.
On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

On certain vehicles, the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection. If the drag link separated from the pitman arm, the driver would loose directional control of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace and properly torque the castle nuts on all suspect vehicles.
On certain motorhomes, if the battery boost switch is engaged while the engine is operating, the engine may shut down possibly causing a loss of vehicle control with the potential for personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a diode and ground wire to the auxiliary start solenoid.
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 vehicles equipped with Workhorse Custom Chassis, an incorrect steering intermediate shaft may have been installed. The incorrect part has a finer pitch spline. Use of the incorrect part may cause the spline not to match correctly with the steering gear input shaft. This could cause the spline to strip if the steering wheel is turned with a significant amount of force. This failure is likely only to occur when the vehicle is stopped or during tight turning manoeuvres at very low speeds. This condition may result in a loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will replace the shaft.
