Defect
On certain motor coaches, the electrical wiring harness located behind the rear toilet was not properly installed. As a result, rubbing can occur on the outside wire insulation causing the insulation to wear away and eventually cause subsequent arcing.
Safety risk
This could lead to a short circuit and possibly a subsequent fire.
Remedy
Dealers will check the wiring harness routing and will change the damaged wires. In addition the wiring harness will be relocated in such a way as to prevent rubbing. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact setra at 1-800-882-8054.
