| Description of the problem | My rv winnebago, journey has a defect which can cause injury or death. It is a safety defect existing. A oil leak that looks like hydraulic fluid is coming down from the bedroom slide-out is satiating with oil into almost all the utility compartment where the 50-amps connection electrical power cord is and the cord is connected to other electrical wires and the inverter charger unit is located and some electrical fuses are also. That compartment gets hot. Especially oil that can start a fire. It needs to be fix. The oil is coming down to the electrical parts. This defect can cause a fire. By not having a tight impermeable leak-proof for the electrical compartment. We sleep right above the compartment where a fire can start without knowing it. Electrical wires are -on- all the time. Even when we are sleeping. Please help. Thank you |
