## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR TOILET WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED.  AS A RESULT, RUBBING CAN OCCUR ON THE OUTSIDE WIRE INSULATION CAUSING THE INSULATION TO WEAR AWAY AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE SUBSEQUENT ARCING.


## What can happen

THIS COULD LEAD TO A SHORT CIRCUIT AND POSSIBLY A SUBSEQUENT FIRE.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS ROUTING AND WILL CHANGE THE DAMAGED WIRES.  IN ADDITION THE WIRING HARNESS WILL BE RELOCATED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PREVENT RUBBING.  THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 18, 2007.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT SETRA AT 1\-800\-882\-8054.
