Summary of the Safety Concern:
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH POLAR MACH AND POLAR CUB AIR CONDITIONERS, THE SOLAR PANEL RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD FRACTURE THE PLASTIC SHROUD IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE ATTACHMENT HOLE. |
||
|
Consequence:
THE RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD PULL OUT OF THE PLASTIC SHROUD, CAUSING THE SOLAR PANEL TO LEAVE THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOME, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A ROAD HAZARD OR A CRASH. |

AIRXCEL WILL REINFORCE THE SOLAR PANELS WITH METAL MOUNTING BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AIRXCEL AT 719-676-2326 OR FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-322-8216. |
