The defect

Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-204-325-4361, or Atwood customer service at 1-574-264-2131. Triple E's number for this recall is Atwood Water Heater.

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.
