Nuwa Industries Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 20, 2004 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 120. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH POLAR MACH AND POLAR CUB AIR CONDITIONERS, THE SOLAR PANEL RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD FRACTURE THE PLASTIC SHROUD IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE ATTACHMENT HOLE.
The risk
THE RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD PULL OUT OF THE PLASTIC SHROUD, CAUSING THE SOLAR PANEL TO LEAVE THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOME, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A ROAD HAZARD OR A CRASH.
The remedy
AIRXCEL WILL REINFORCE THE SOLAR PANELS WITH METAL MOUNTING BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AIRXCEL AT 719-676-2326 OR NUWA AT 1-800-835-0676.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 04V089000.
