HOLIDAY RAMBLER CORP. recall 96V-066 covers 494 1996 Holiday Rambler Endeavor for a wiring: fuses and circuit breakers problem, reported to NHTSA on April 22, 1996.
Source: NHTSA recall 96V066000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
THE FUSE FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CIRCUIT MAY BE UNDER RATED FOR THESE MOTORHOMES. THE CIRCUIT REQUIRES A 20 AMP FUSE AND A 15 AMP FUSE MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. ALSO THE CIRCUIT CONNECTING THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO THE FUSE PANEL INCORRECTLY STATES 15 AMP.
The risk
IF THE 15 AMP FUSE IS INSTALLED AND THE DRIVER HAS NOT MANUALLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON, THE FUSE WILL BLOW WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS A RETURNED ON. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL THEN GO OFF INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE ANY 15 AMP FUSE IN THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP FUSE. A LABEL WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED ON THE POSITIVE WIRE FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AT THE FUSE PANEL AND THE LETTERING ON THE FUSE PANEL WHICH PRESENTLY READS 15 AMP WILL BE COVERED.
