An official Health Canada notice concerns Winnebago industries. On certain motorhomes, incorrect fuses were installed in the refrigerator 12V circuits. A 5-amp fuse was installed in the lamp/fan circuit instead of a 3-amp fuse, and a 20-amp fuse was installed in the heating element circuit instead of a 15-amp fuse. These oversized fuses fail to provide proper circuit protection, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected fuses. Published 2013-01-10.
