We have an rv that has electrical energy flowing throughout the chassis when it is plugged into shore power. Passengers have been electricuted in and around the rv. After inspection of the ats (automatic transfer switch) I noticed evidence of a small electrical fire that had occurred. (see photo) when researching this problem I found a safety recall related to this ats (automatic transfer switch). Recall # 12v‑516 appears to be related to the ioat engineering its-50r ats. This is the same ats that is in our rv but our rv is not covered in this recall. Additional we had work done on this ats in 2011 (see photo) the rv said said that there were burnt wires in the ats. The shop said that this was fixed but the problem came back. Please be aware that this is a 220v 50a system that can carry a deadly power load and of course there is also a risk of a fire.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: motor homes, transit and school buses equipped with trw drag links. Each drag link assembly contains two 20-edl model ball socket assemblies. Certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket.
- Risk
- This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Spartan customers are being notified to contact trw for the free remedy repair.
