What NHTSA recorded

On certain class a motor homes built on either a ford or workhorse chassis, the power feed for the fog lamps may have been mis-wired.

Possible consequence

Normal use of the fog lights could cause the diode in the radio circuit to overheat and possibly cause a fire. Owners are asked to not use the fog lights until this situation is corrected. Although the georgetown motor homes were not equipped with fog lights, the wiring for the fog lights is in the dash harness, and therefore, contains the defect.

Remedy

Dealers will replace part of the dash harness that contains this wiring. Owner notification began november 19, 2002. 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 forest river at 1-574-389-1892.
