The problem

Drv is recalling certain model year 2011 select, mobile and elite suite 5th wheel recreational vehicles equipped with itc 2 wire dimmer switches.

The failure of the dimmer switch will cause the lights to stop dimming and/or working. An overheated switch can also lead to personal injury and/or fire.
