What's wrong?

The battery disconnect terminal on 2021-2023 Triple E Unity motorhomes is part of the electrical system that lets battery power be shut off from the coach. Its terminal posts sit behind the battery disconnect switch near the refrigerator cabinet. Those posts need clearance from metal parts around them so current stays inside the intended circuit.

On affected Unity motorhomes, the switch was installed too close to the metal refrigerator frame. Triple E traced the problem to a cabinet design change: thicker plywood reduced the space around the terminal posts, and the drawing did not reflect that added thickness. If a terminal post touches the refrigerator frame, the contact shorts the circuit 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 blown fuse means the terminal post has already contacted the metal frame and the circuit has shorted.

Who's affected?

The same battery disconnect terminal is involved for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Unity motorhomes.

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?

A short circuit can blow the 100 amp fuse in the battery compartment and increase the risk of a fire. If that fuse has blown, stop using the vehicle and call the dealer before moving it. Repair is free at any franchised Triple E dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2023 Triple E Unity is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Triple E dealer to schedule the free protective-cover installation that keeps the battery disconnect switch from contacting the refrigerator frame.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Triple E mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V608 when you call.
  4. Call Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906 if the dealer cannot confirm the repair or appointment details.
  5. Stop using the motorhome and contact the dealer if the fuse blows or you notice electrical trouble before the repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Triple E technician installs a full protective plastic cover so the battery disconnect switch is kept away from the refrigerator frame. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Triple E also provides the cover and standard procedure for retail owners and service centers. If you already paid for this repair before the recall notice, Triple E reimburses repair costs or pays the service center directly. Keep your repair paperwork and ask Triple E customer service or the servicing center how to submit it.
