What's wrong?
The MaxxAir fan assembly in the 2027 Foretravel Realm uses a printed circuit board to control fan operation, including signals from the RVC control. A printed circuit board is the small electrical panel that routes power and commands to the fan, so the fan runs at the selected setting.
In the affected fans, the field-effect transistors on that board do not have enough capacitance for the current flowing through them. Those transistors act like electronic switches. When they cannot handle the current load, the device fails and heat builds up on the board during certain operations. That heat buildup is the defect in NHTSA campaign 26V464.
Foretravel says smoke will be present when the PC board is experiencing a thermal event. Smoke from the fan area is the warning sign before failure.
