Description
Carriage is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 cameo, carri-lite, model year 2010-2011 royals, and model year 2009 domani 5th wheel trailers with generator transfer switches.  The generator transfer switch may not be manufactured or installed to the proper specification causing a potential for excessive heat build up inside the switch.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the generator transfer switches and replace them as necessary, free of charge.  The safety recall is expected to begin during september 2011.  Owners may contact carriage at 1-574-642-3622.
