2000 Itasca Horizon recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes. These motor homes may contain a generator with an improperly sized breaker for its intended application. A 30-AMP circuit breaker is installed where a 20-AMP circuit breaker should be. This breaker protects the circuit that goes to a central air conditioning unit.
💥 The risk
If an overload were to occur to the circuit, it could ignite the insulation and result in bodily injury and/or property damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the circuit breakers in the generator and, if necessary, replace the breaker.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
