What's wrong?
The 12-volt electrical system in 2023-2024 Brinkley Rv Model Z RVs powers low-voltage equipment, including the refrigerator circuit. Mini-breakers are small protective devices in that system. Their job is to interrupt a circuit when current rises too high, so the wiring does not carry more electrical load than it is built to handle.
On affected units, identified wires, including the 6 gauge Travel Mode wire, were specified for connection on the unprotected side of the mini-breaker block. That removes the overcurrent protection for those circuits. The refrigerator wiring was also undersized for the maximum electrical load the 12V refrigerator draws, so the wire can overheat under high demand.
Owners can see multiple component failures when inadequate overcurrent protection is affecting those circuits. Low battery readings on the battery monitor are another warning sign because low voltage raises refrigerator current load and increases the chance of wire overload.
Who's affected?
The included build window runs from May 1, 2022 through April 23, 2024, with refrigerator and wiring components listed for both model years.

What's the safety risk?
Overheated wiring can increase the risk of a fire. Treat multiple component failures or low battery readings on the battery monitor as warning signs, and stop using affected electrical loads until the trailer is checked. Repair is free at any franchised Brinkley Rv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Brinkley Rv Model Z is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Brinkley Rv dealer to schedule the free wiring replacement.
- Ask the dealer to replace the refrigerator wiring that lacked overcurrent protection and had undersized wiring, the condition tied to overheating.
- Bring the recall notice if Brinkley Rv mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V476 when you call.
- Avoid using the refrigerator until the wiring repair is complete, and call Brinkley Rv customer service at 1-574-501-4280 with recall questions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Brinkley Rv technician replaces the affected refrigerator wiring so the circuit has proper overcurrent protection and wire size. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid to have this wiring remedy performed before the recall repair, Brinkley RV says it will reimburse documented work immediately. Bring the repair order, proof of payment, and any related service paperwork to the dealer or Brinkley RV customer service so the claim can be matched to recall 24V476.
