ODI #11585699

Incident: April 28, 2024 · Filed: April 28, 2024

Removed the winter cover for the RV and the laminated cover for the tongue jack was disintegrated, exposing the power switches and light. This jack was already previously replaced due to the same, or similar problem. The replacement jack has the same touch pad cracking problem as the original jack. I do not know if the jack may extend on its own if the circuitry inside gets wet, like the first recall, but I will disconnect it from the power source while on the road, and once at a campsite.
