Recall 22V-616: Electrical System

Reported Aug 10, 2022 · 1,237 vehicles affected · Pleasure Way Industries, Ltd.

Problem: Pleasure Way Industries, Ltd. (Pleasure Way) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Plateau FL, Rekon, Ontour 2.2, Ontour 2.0, Ascent and Tofino motorhomes. The DCF 4 circuit board is labeled for 30 amps, while the pins for the fuse holder are only rated for 20 amps, which can overload the circuit board and cause the fuse or wiring to overheat or melt.

Risk: Overheating or melting of wiring increases the risk of a fire.

Fix: Dealers will relabel the DCF4 circuit board, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2022. Owners may contact Pleasure Way's customer service at 1-800-364-0189.
