Issue
On certain motorhomes, wiring for the catalytic converter's oxygen sensor may not be properly secured. As such, the wiring may contact the exhaust and melt/short, which could result in Check Engine Light illumination and, in some instances, the engine to shut down while driving. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor wiring by installing an additional fastener to the existing clamp.
