Plain-English summary

Loose wiring can cause an electrical arc or short, increasing the risk of fire in the vehicle. This defect poses a serious safety hazard to RV occupants and property.

Owners should contact Alliance RV customer service at 1-574-218-7165 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) for more information.
