What's wrong?
The G9 ECM in the 2019-2021 Pleasure Way Tofino is the electronic control module behind the motorhome's control panel. It is the circuit board that helps the coach electrical system receive battery power and send control signals to connected equipment. The board depends on over-voltage protection to keep incoming power within a range it can handle.
On affected Tofino motorhomes, that protection is undersized for voltages seen in the field. When input voltage goes over 18 volts, the surge can damage the G9 ECM circuit board instead of being blocked before it reaches the module. Pleasure Way's repair adds an over-voltage protection device between the G9 ECM and the battery input.
There are no warning signs before the circuit board is damaged. Jump starting the vehicle with the wrong size jump pack or battery charger can overload the system and damage the control board.
Who's affected?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Pleasure Way technician installs an over voltage protection device for the electronic control center circuit board. The device cuts off voltage to the board before excess voltage damages it. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs paid before this recall go through Pleasure Way's warranty claim process, not a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
