- Summary
- On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with polar mach and polar cub air conditioners, the solar panel rubber well nuts could fracture the plastic shroud in the immediate area of the attachment hole.
- Consequence
- The rubber well nuts could pull out of the plastic shroud, causing the solar panel to leave the top of the motor home, and increasing the risk of a road hazard or a crash.
- Remedy
- Airxcel will reinforce the solar panels with metal mounting brackets free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact airxcel at 719-676-2326 or nuwa at 1-800-835-0676.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your NU WA been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A NU WA dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
