Defect. Midwest Automotive Designs, LLC (Midwest) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Passage, Weekender, and Daycruiser Sprinter Vans equipped with a Multiplex G9 unit used for controlling equipment and accessories in the motorhome. Excessive voltage may cause the components on the board to become damaged.

Risk. A damaged circuit board may overheat, and increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Midwest has notified owners, and provided an additional circuit module, free of charge. All repairs have been performed and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Midwest's customer service at 1-574-522-4878.

Electrical System

Filed Jun 3, 2023NM

The vehicle was modified by Midwest Automotive Designs into a Passage 148 model class B RV with a Firefly Integrations LLC multiplex electronic control module. A Colorado Carefree Awning was included as OEM on this vehicle. On June 2nd while parked in my driveway and not in use, the awning extended automatically (spontaneously). I went to the vehicle and retracted it using the control panel and once retracted it immediately re-extended. This occurred over and over again. I finally removed the fuse to stop this from occurring. This is the same issue and same equipment identified in recall 22E-070 as applying to Coachmen RVs of this era.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
