What's wrong?
The 120V wire in the 2016 Triple E Libero and Serenity carries household-style electrical power from the inverter to a receptacle in the driver side upper cabinet. That outlet is part of the RV's interior electrical system, so it needs insulated wiring kept clear of trim screws and mounting points.
On affected RVs, the wire routing sits directly above a mounting point for the rear driver side window valance. When the valance is installed or removed, a screw can pierce the wire insulation and contact the energized conductor. That can make the screw electrically charged and create a shock risk for the person handling the valance.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is hidden behind the valance, so an owner is unlikely to see it until the trim is disturbed.

A matching 2016 Triple E Libero or Serenity does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Electrical shock can injure an owner, passenger, or technician around the affected wiring. Until the repair is complete, avoid touching or altering wiring near the overhead cabinet area and schedule the recall repair with the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Triple E dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016 Triple E Libero or Serenity is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Triple E dealer to schedule the free wiring reroute that addresses the electrically charged screw risk near the driver-side rear window valance.
- Bring the recall notice if Triple E mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V578 and Triple E recall CA#8135-1 when you call.
- Avoid removing the driver-side rear window valance until the dealer completes the wiring repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triple E technician reroutes the wiring to the overhead cabinet near the driver side rear window valance, so the valance screw is not exposed to charged wiring when the trim is removed. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Triple E has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for the same wiring repair before the recall notice. Bring dated repair paperwork and payment documentation to the service desk, or contact Triple E customer service to ask how to submit the claim.
