What's wrong?
The affected 2009-2013 Itasca motorhomes use fuses to protect the refrigerator electrical circuits. A fuse is a small safety link in the wiring. When current gets too high, the fuse is supposed to open the circuit before the wire or connected appliance is damaged.
On the Reyo, Via, View, Era, and Navion motorhomes in this recall, the proper fuses were not installed for those refrigerator circuits. That means the circuit does not have the protection it was designed to have. If an electrical fault or overload happens, the wrong fuse does not give the wiring the intended cutoff point, and the refrigerator circuit can overheat.
Owners are not given a specific symptom in the recall filing. There is no warning sign before failure. Treat any burning smell, heat near the refrigerator wiring area, or unusual refrigerator electrical behavior as a reason to stop using that circuit and call an Itasca dealer.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2013 Itasca Reyo, Via, View, Era, or Navion is included in this recall.
- Look for the owner notice mailed on December 21, 2012, or use your VIN result if you never received the notice.
- Contact a franchised Itasca dealer to schedule the free refrigerator-circuit fuse replacement that prevents heat buildup in the wiring.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 12V559 when you call.
- Avoid using the refrigerator circuit until the dealer confirms the proper fuses are installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Itasca technician replaces the incorrect refrigerator circuit fuses with the proper fuses listed for the recall. The listed remedy is fuse replacement, not a refrigerator replacement or full coach electrical rewiring. Itasca began owner notification on December 21, 2012. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the dealer remedy is available. If you are calling for service, tell the service desk this is NHTSA campaign 12V559 and ask them to confirm the correct fuse parts before the appointment.
