What's wrong?
The main wiring harness in a 2022 Alante or Vision motorhome is the bundle of wires that carries power and signals between chassis systems and controls. It needs to stay clipped in its routed path, with enough clearance from hot engine parts. One of those hot areas is the exhaust manifold, which collects exhaust gas at the engine and gets hot during normal driving.
On these motorhomes, a pin that secures the harness was removed during upfitting and was not replaced. Without that pin, the harness can sit too close to the exhaust manifold. Heat from the manifold can melt the wire covering, damage the wires inside, and interrupt the electrical signals the chassis needs to keep running. Jayco's repair secures the harness away from the manifold with a pin.
An owner can notice the motorhome stalling. The check engine light or smoke from the dash also appeared in the reported breakdowns, so treat those as warning signs and stop driving when they appear.
