What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE FURNACE ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN THE FURNACE IS IN SERVICE, A DOWN DRAFT OR SUCTION MAY BE CREATED WITHIN THE REFRIGERATOR CABINET. FURTHERMORE, THIS DOWN DRAFT COULD CAUSE THE FLAME TO BE DRAWN DOWN OVER THE TOP OF THE BURNER.

The remedy

THE DEALER WILL INSTALL VENEER PANELS OVER AN ACCESS OPENING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REFRIGERATOR CABINET TO ELIMINATE THE DOWN DRAFT. THIS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE.

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.
