TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 3500 TRAILERED TO A 2016 WINNEBAGO TRAVATO MOTORHOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V546000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 17V108000 (EQUIPMENT) AND 16V598000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED.

COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE DOCUMENTED ELECTRICAL ISSUE? I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE.

A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE AGAIN LOST ALL POWER WITH THE MESSAGE …
