2001–2008 Sundowner Sunlite LQ recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Sundowner is recalling 4,535 Sunlite living quarter trailers (models 575 gn, 700 gn, 705 gn, 720 gn, 725 gn, 727 gn, 737, 740, 760, 777 gn, cargo gn, stock gn, prostock gn, and stampedesl gn). These trailers may not be equipped with a fuse in line with the wire harness that connects to the tow vehicle.
💥 The risk
If an improperly wired tow vehicle is connected to the trailer wiring harness, there is a possibility of electrical short which could cause a fire resulting in proper damage, injury to a consumer and/or livestock.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect these trailers and if it is one of the suspected trailers, the dealer will install an in line fuse in the wire harness. The recall began on october 20, 2008. Owners may contact sundowner at 1-800-654-3879.
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.)
