What's wrong?
The circuit breakers in these 2011 Coachmen Cross Country, Encounter, Pathfinder, and Mirada units are part of the coach's house electrical system. A breaker is a protective switch: it lets current flow to lights, outlets, and appliances, then trips open when the circuit is overloaded. That trip is supposed to stop wiring and connected parts from overheating.
NHTSA campaign 10V433 identifies Siemens and Murray one inch plug-in circuit breakers in the affected coaches. The recalled breakers are faulty and can heat up instead of protecting the circuit as designed. When a breaker overheats inside the electrical panel, nearby wiring and panel materials face a fire risk.
There is no warning sign before failure in the recall record. Owners should not count on a smell, flicker, tripped breaker, or visible panel damage before the breaker overheats.
Who's affected?
Covers the Cross Country, Encounter, Pathfinder, and Mirada motorhomes from the same model year, all tied to the same wiring component.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Coachmen Cross Country, Encounter, Pathfinder, or Mirada is included in this recall.
- Review the owner notice Coachmen mailed for recall number 10V433 before arranging service.
- Contact Coachmen customer service at 1-800-453-6064 to confirm current repair handling for this older recall.
- Ask for the free circuit-breaker inspection and replacement that removes faulty breakers that can overheat.
- Park away from structures and stop using the RV's electrical system if breakers feel hot, smell burnt, or show visible damage until Coachmen gives repair instructions.
What happens at the repair
Once the dealer repair is available, a Coachmen technician removes the breakers from the distribution panel, inspects each breaker, and removes or replaces any faulty breaker with a new one. The final dealer repair will be free once it opens. Before arranging service, confirm with the dealer that campaign 10V433 applies to your VIN and that the breaker parts are ready for the appointment.
