NHTSA Complaint #11234419 — 2007 DAMON DAYBREAK

WE HAVE AN IOTA TS-50R RELAY TRANSFER SWITCH UNIT IN OUR 2007 DAMON DAYBREAK 3274 MOTOR HOME, PURCHASE USED FROM A DEALER IN APRIL 2019 WITH 11,800 MILES. IT RECENTLY STARTED OVER HEATING AND MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, MANY MOTORHOME MODELS MFG BY VARIOUS SOURCES HAVE RECALLED THE UNIT AND/OR CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED HAVING SAME ISSUES WITH FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER; AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WHO VERY RARELY USED THE MOTORHOME. THOR ACQUIRED DAMON VIA MERGE AND CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE IOTA ITS-50R BUT ONLY INCLUDES NEWER MODELS WITH THE SAME RELAY TRANSFER SWITCH. GOOGLING PRODUCED MANY FORUMS WITH CONTENT EXACT TO OUR ISSUE, SOME WITH MELTDOWNS, SOME WITH FIRES. IOTA ENGINEERING HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL, DESPITE THESE LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUES. *JS
