Defect
On certain travel trailers, the 110-volt receptacle in the galley area of the unit is required to be protected by a ground fault interrupter (gfi) receptacle or by a gfi type breaker in the panel board. The 110-volt galley receptacle unit does not have this protection.
Safety risk
This condition could result in an electrical shock that could cause serious injury or death.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the present galley receptacle, install a nonmetallic outlet box, and install and test the gfi 110-volt receptacle free of charge. The recall began on may 18, 2006. Owners may contact airstream at 937-596-6111.
