What's wrong

The problem

The risk

IF THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM OPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INMOTION, IT CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

What to do

The fix

INSPECT THE SLIDE-OUT SWITCH AND THE CONTROL MODULE. DAMAGED SWITCHES WILL BE REPAIRED, AND THE CONTROL MODULE WILL BE REPLACED OR FITTED WITH A PROTECTIVE COVER, AS NECESSARY.
