Proline recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
PROLine Products LLC (PROLine) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 travel trailers manufactured September 2010 through October 2013 and equipped with auxiliary batteries installed by PROLine. The batteries were installed a fuse for overcurrent protection.
What could happen
If the trailer's wiring harness were to become physically damaged, the installed battery could short circuit and melt the wiring, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
PROLine will notify owners, and dealers will install in-line fuse holders, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early January 2014. Owners may contact PROLine at 1-603-652-7337.
