Electrical system: 12v/24v/48v battery: cables

What is wrong
On certain motor homes, the battery cables that exit the rear of the battery storage compartment are not adequately secured. Should the cables become unsecured, they could come in direct contact with the engine exhaust system.
Risk
In the event that the cables come in contact with the exhaust system, the cable protective covering could eventually melt causing a direct short in the 12-volt electrical system, which could result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will use a tube clamp to secure the excess length of wire to a steel truss member above and out of the way of the exhaust and will also add a heat shield. The recall began on april 10, 2006. Owners may contact coachmen at 1‑800‑453‑6064.
