What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (EverGreen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Bayhill, Lifestyle, Amped, I-Go, Sun Valley, Element, Reactor, and Ever-Lite recreational vehicles manufactured June 1, 2013, to August 31, 2015, equipped with Atwood on-demand water heaters. The affected water heaters have a water and gas valve that may cause the water heater to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap.

The risk

The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, possibly causing the operator is to scald themselves and increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

EverGreen will notify owners, and dealers will install a hot water heater rework kit to remedy the safety risk, free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2016. Owners may contact EverGreen customer service at 1-574-825-4298.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
