2021-2023 Triple E Unity Recall 23V002: Battery Short

Recall 23V002 covers 341 2021-2023 Triple E Unity motorhomes with battery disconnect terminal posts that can short. Free repair at a franchised Triple E dealer.

Triple E is recalling 341 2021-2023 Unity motorhomes because battery disconnect switch terminal posts can contact the grounded metal fridge frame, causing a short and blowing the 100 AMP fuse. An electrical short-circuit can increase the risk of a fire, and Triple E dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?

The battery disconnect switch on affected 2021-2023 Triple E Unity motorhomes sits in the fridge cabinet area. Its terminal posts are the exposed connection points for the battery disconnect circuit, which lets the coach battery power be shut off or restored when needed. The posts need open space around them so electrical current stays on the intended path.

On these motorhomes, the switch is installed too close to the metal fridge frame. Triple E traced the problem to cabinet assembly drawings that were not updated after thicker plywood was used, leaving less room between the terminal posts and the fridge frame. If a post touches the grounded metal frame, electricity takes the wrong path, creates a short, and blows the 100 AMP fuse.

The warning sign is a blown 100 AMP fuse in the MEGA fuse holder in the battery compartment. That points to the terminal post contact problem and gives the dealer clear language for the repair: protective rubber covers go on the battery disconnect switch posts.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Triple E technician installs two rubber terminal post protective covers on the battery disconnect switch area so the terminal posts are shielded from the grounded refrigerator frame. The repair is free of charge. If you paid for this repair before the recall notice, Triple E reimburses the retail owner or pays the servicing center directly for covered repair costs. Keep the service order and payment paperwork for the reimbursement claim.
