Exterior lighting: brake lights

What is wrong
On certain motor homes, a circuit design resulted in a 12.1 amp circuit draw in the brake light circuit when it is protected by a 10 amp circuit breaker.
Risk
The current draw may cause the circuit breaker to fail resulting in a loss of brake lights with no warning to the driver before or after the fuse blows. A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
Dealers will modify the circuit to incorporate relays to reduce current draw in the fused circuit to less than 10 amperes. The recall began on february 2, 2005. Owners may contact blue bird at 478‑825‑2021.
