ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Brinkley RV (Brinkley) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Model Z fifth wheels and Model Z-Air travel trailers. The 12-volt system may have been incorrectly wired without overcurrent protection and with undersized wiring for the refrigerator, which can result in overheating.
- What it can cause
- Overheated wiring can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed in July 8, 2024. Owners may contact Brinkley customer service at 1-574-501-4280. Brinkley's number for this recall is REC-2402.
- 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.nhtsa.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 3,157 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Brinkley RV vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V664000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V286000 (structure), 24V885000 (trailer hitches), 24V037000 (suspension).
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 Brinkley RV with NHTSA on June 25, 2024 as campaign 24V476000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
