Solar Prep Wiring not Breaker Protected
The Keystone Cougar Recall concerns the wiring for the solar preparation kit. It has been determined that the Solar Prep wiring to the 12V breakers located by the battery may not be connected to the protected side of the breaker. If this condition exists it will lead to an increased risk of fire if an electrical short should occur on the unprotected circuit.
