What's wrong?
The fridge power supply on the 2016-2018 Triple E Rv Wonder motorhome feeds electrical power to the refrigerator. That circuit has two sides: the 120V side for shore or generator power, and the 12V side that supports the fridge controls and low-voltage operation. A fuse is supposed to protect the 12V wiring by opening the circuit when current is too high.
On affected Wonder motorhomes, installers checked the 120V circuit but did not correctly verify the 12V circuit. The fridge power wire, identified as 826-5601 in the repair instructions, was connected in the wrong place instead of the 20 amp #9 fuse location. Without the correct fuse protection, the wire can carry current without the intended safeguard, which can let the fridge wiring heat up.
What you notice can be simple and easy to miss. The fridge wire can feel warm to the touch, the area can smell like hot plastic, or the fridge 12V function can stop working.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical overload can overheat the refrigerator power supply wire because it lacks fused protection, increasing the risk of a fire. Treat a warm fridge wire, hot plastic smell, or fridge 12V malfunction as a reason to stop using the appliance and schedule the recall repair. Repair is free at any franchised Triple E Rv dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triple E Rv technician correctly connects the fridge wire to the 20 amp fuse block. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already had a servicing center complete this recall work, Triple E Rv's plan allows the retail owner to be reimbursed or the servicing center to be paid directly by Triple E Rv.
