ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
- The defect
- Roadtrek Inc. (Roadtrek) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Zion, Zion SRT, and Play motorhomes. The undermount generator that charges the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) house batteries may have a faulty internal regulator, which could damage the AGM batteries and cause electrical system failure.
- What it can cause
- Damaged AGM battery caps can detach. In addition, a damaged AGM battery that is replaced with a lead-acid battery can lead to an acid spill. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the undermount AGM generator, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 26, 2021. Owners may contact Roadtrek customer service at 1-888-762-3873.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 70 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Roadtrek vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 2 times before this, most recently in June 2015 as 15V404000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V112000 (equipment), 22V492000 (equipment), 22V385000 (equipment), 22V065000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Roadtrek Inc. with NHTSA on May 14, 2021 as campaign 21V356000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
