CONVERTER IN JAYCO KIWI 2002 WENT BAD AND WE HAD LIGHTS, RADIO/CD PLAYER,AND LP DETECTOR RUINED WHEN TOO MANY VOLTS WERE BEING SENT TO THIS EQUIPMENT. WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE TRAILER WE SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL AND THEN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM A PANEL ON THE WALL. AFTER TESTING VOLTAGE BEING PUT OUT BY CONVERTER IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS SENDING 40 VOLTS TO 12 VOLT EQUIPMENT. THERE WAS NO SAFETY DEVICE ON THIS CONVERTER TO PREVENT THIS FROM "FRYING" OUR EQUIPMENT THAT WAS USING 12 VOLTS AND IF WE HAD NOT WALKED IN WHEN WE DID ,THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE. WE HAVE INSTALLED A NEW CONVERTER WHICH HAS A SAFETY ON IT TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF THING FROM HAPPENING. THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED WHEN MANUFACTURING. WE HAVE OLD CONVERTER, RADIO/CD PLAYER AND LP DETECTOR. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE LP DETECTOR ,BUT HAVE NOT PRICED A NEW RADIO YET.
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, THESE UNITS WERE PRODUCED WITH A DEFECTIVE PANEL. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR BETWEEN CIRCUIT PATTERNS ON THE MEMBRANE PANEL, ESPECIALLY OVERLAPPED BY A "JUMPER" OR JUMP WIRE. THIS MAY CAUSE THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS. THIS COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, OR POSSIBLY A FIRE.
Remedy: SAMSUNG WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSUMERS SHOULD UNPLUG THEIR MICROWAVE, IF POSSIBLE. IF THE CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR UNTIL THE PANEL IS REPLACED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NEVER USE THE MICROWAVE OVEN FOR STORAGE OR LEAVE ANY TOWELS, PAPER, CLOTH OR OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE MICROWAVE AFTER USE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SAMSUNG AT 800-932-3837 OR JAYCO AT 1-574-825-0608.
