Recall 03V249000
Electrical System › Wiring — Leisure · reported 15 Jul 2003 · 122 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT ON DODGE CHASSIS, THE ISOLATOR WIRE FROM THE CHASSIS BATTERY IS LYING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK BRACKET AND COULD POSSIBLY RUB THROUGH THE WIRE INSULATION.
The risk
THIS COULD CAUSE THE WIRE TO SHORT OUT OR ARC.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIRE AND RE-ROUTE THE WIRE OVER A RUBBER HOSE ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WIRE INSULATION RUBBING THROUGH. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY OR AUGUST 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT LEISURE TRAVEL VANS AT 1-877-288-8088.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall

Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
