ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH POLAR MACH AND POLAR CUB AIR CONDITIONERS, THE SOLAR PANEL RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD FRACTURE THE PLASTIC SHROUD IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE ATTACHMENT HOLE.

Consequence: THE RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD PULL OUT OF THE PLASTIC SHROUD, CAUSING THE SOLAR PANEL TO LEAVE THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOME, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A ROAD HAZARD OR A CRASH.
