⚠️ What's wrong
On certain recreational vehicles equipped with vansco vmm 2820 modules, the module may experience a failure of all operational function.

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.)
