What's wrong?
The 2022-2023 Storyteller Overland Mode Lt uses a secondary alternator to charge the auxiliary power system while the motorhome is running. That auxiliary system supplies the coach-side electrical load, separate from the main vehicle battery system. The Volta external harness carries power between that alternator setup and the auxiliary power system.
On affected motorhomes, that harness was routed inconsistently. The wiring sits too close to the driver's side CV axle shaft, a rotating axle shaft that moves with the drivetrain. Contact with that shaft can rub through the wire covering and damage the wiring. Storyteller Overland's remedy changes the routing, secures the wires, and adds more wire protection.
Owners can notice the auxiliary power system failing to charge from the secondary alternator, or charging inconsistently while the vehicle is running. A burning smell or visible wiring damage near the driver's side CV axle shaft is also a warning sign.
