Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Beaver and model year 2009-2011 Monaco and Holiday Rambler recreational vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between October 25, 2007, and August 26, 2010, and are equipped with Iota ITS-50R 50 amp automatic transfer switches.

The bus bar and/or electrical connections in the Iota ITS-50R transfer switch may be inadequate to handle the electrical load. This defect could lead to electrical overload, overheating, and a fire, which increases the risk of property damage, personal injury, or death.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Iota ITS-50R transfer switch free of charge. The safety recall began on March 15, 2012. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 for more information.
