Issue

On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with a generator-ready option, incorrect installation of the power transfer switch could cause excessive heat build-up at the lugs. This could allow the transfer switch to overheat and melt, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the transfer switch for evidence of heat damage and verify the lug fastener torque. If the inspection reveals heat damage, the transfer switch will be replaced.
