What's wrong?
The electrical wire nut connector in the 2021-2023 Alliance Rv Paradigm and Valor fifth wheel trailers joins the solar panel ports to the solar charge lines. That connection carries power from the factory-installed solar panels into the trailer's charging circuit, so the solar system can help charge the battery bank. The connector is supposed to hold the wires tightly together while the trailer moves and vibrates.
On affected trailers, the twist-on wire cap or nut at this solar connection can loosen. Once the wires are no longer held firmly, electrical contact becomes less secure. Resistance rises at the connection, and heat can build at that point. The recall repair replaces the old connector style with a connector designed to stay tight.
Owners can see diminished solar performance, a solar system that stops working, or signs of overheating near the connection. Those are warning signs that the connector has loosened or the circuit is no longer carrying power correctly.
Who's affected?
Paradigm and Valor are both included across the 2021, 2022, and 2023 model years, with the same electrical wire nut connector tied to the wiring concern.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2023 Alliance Rv Paradigm or Valor fifth wheel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Alliance Rv dealer to schedule the free wire-nut connector replacement that secures the solar panel electrical connection.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, or reference recall number 23V701 when you call.
- Avoid using the solar panel ports until the dealer replaces the connector.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Alliance Rv technician inspects the solar panel port wiring where it connects to the solar charge lines, then replaces the existing wire nut with a new connector. The recall repair is available now. Alliance Rv provides the new connector and covers the labor, so the inspection and repair are free for retail owners. Ask the service desk to confirm the work is recorded under recall 23V701.
