| Description of the problem | Iota transfer switch its-50r overheated and nearly caught fire, seems to have damaged the refrigerator(it no longer works and overheated) at least one of my roof air conditioner units, possibly both. This unit has already been recalled by navistar who installed it on holiday rambler units and at least one other coach, nhtsa #12v060000. As far as i can tell forest river has not recalled the units(using your web site) i explained this to my dealer and he said they would look at it when they get an opening, which is aug. 6th. This a safety issue as the init clearly got very warm, before it failed, wires burnt, etc. |
