The defect
Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain 2017 Wonder motorhomes, model W24MB. When open, the door for the Truma water heater can block the furnace air intake and exhaust.
The risk
If the door is left open while the furnace is on, the water heater door may melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will provide a decal with instructions to be installed on the water heater door, free of charge. Triple E issued interim notification to owners on September 13, 2017. The recall began on October 4, 2017. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906.

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.
