The problem
ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT ON DODGE CHASSIS, THE ISOLATOR WIRE FROM THE CHASSIS BATTERY IS LYING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK BRACKET AND COULD POSSIBLY RUB THROUGH THE WIRE INSULATION.

THIS COULD CAUSE THE WIRE TO SHORT OUT OR ARC.

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIRE AND RE-ROUTE THE WIRE OVER A RUBBER HOSE ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WIRE INSULATION RUBBING THROUGH. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY OR AUGUST 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT LEISURE TRAVEL VANS AT 1-877-288-8088.
