THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF REASONS THAT CAUSED THE FIRE IN MY MOTOR HOME. 1.HALDEX "PUREAIR PLUS" AIR DRYER THRU A DEFECT IN A FIBERBOARD CONNECTOR BROKE & SHORTED 12 VOLT TO GROUND. 2.SPARTAN MOTORS INSTALLED A 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER TO PROTECT THE AIR DRYER. HALDEX RECOMMENTS A 10 AMP FUSE. THE SHORT CAUSED THE AIR DRYER CONNECTER TO OVERHEAT & START THE FIRE. 3.SPARTAN MOTORS USED A WIRING HARNESS DESIGNED FOR A LARGER MOTOR HOME & BUNDLED EXCESS WITH AIR DRYER CONNECTOR. THE PLASTIC USED TO INCASE THE WIRING HARNESS IS VERY FLAMMABLE & CAUSED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INSULATION WHICH IS ALSO VERY FLAMMABLE TO STREAD THE FIRE OVER THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *AK

98V283000 · Trailer Hitches

Nov 5, 1998

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON SPARTAN CHASSIS. WELDS HAVE CRACKED ON THE FRAME PLATE WHERE THE HITCH TUBE WAS WELDED ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IN THE EVENT THE WELDS WOULD FAIL, THE HITCH AND THE TOW VEHICLE COULD BE SEPARATED FROM THE MOTOR HOME, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE WELDS AND, IF NECESSARY, REWELD THE HITCH TO THE FRAME PLATE.
