Itasca Suncruiser recalls
Risk: A detached hood bracket may become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: Improper torquing of the hitch bolts could cause the hitch to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the steps extend while the vehicle is being driven, the steps may strike a person or another vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
Risk: The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, possibly causing the operator to scald themselves and increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the vehicle can be shifted into reverse without the brakes being applied, the vehicle may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Risk: A missing range enclosure may allow the gas range flame to be extinguished due to air flow. In such a case, propane gas will continue to flow without a flame. If propane continues to flow, in the presence of an ignition source, it may suddenly combust resulting in a fire and/or personal injury.
Risk: The bolts may fracture, leading to separation of the steering gear and thus a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Risk: Reduced brake performance increases the risk of a crash.
Risk: An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Risk: If the restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death to the occupant.
