VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES WITH BASEMENT CONVERTERS AND BASEMENT FREEZERS. A GROMMET MAY BE MISSING ALLOWING THE 110-VOLT WIRE TO RUB AGAINST A METAL EDGE.
Consequence: IF A DIRECT SHORT WERE TO OCCUR, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE MOTOR HOMES TO DETERMINE IF THE SUBJECT WIRES ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED. IF THEY ARE NOT, PROPER PROTECTION WILL BE ADDED, AND IF NECESSARY, THE WIRING WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
Reported: 1995-12-14 (December 14, 1995) · Model years: 1995
THE WASHERS USED ON THE DRIVER'S SEATS WITH POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENTS WERE MISSING. ALSO, A SMALL NUMBER OF THE PEDESTALS MAY HAVE SMALL CRACKS IN THE JOINT BETWEEN THE BASE PLATE AND THE TUBE TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED.
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT MAY NOT RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANT INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD WASHERS OR AN INTEGRAL NUT AND WASHER COMBINATION, AND REPLACE THE PEDESTALS WITH A NEW ASSEMBLY.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
