- Summary
- 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.

Has your Carriage 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 Carriage dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
