What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE COOKING RANGE AND THE FURNACE ARE LOCATED NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN THE MOTORHOME. WHEN THE FURNACE IS IN OPERATION, IT CAN DRAW AIR OVER THE RANGE TOP, CAUSING A DOWNDRAFT ONTO THE RANGE TOP.

The risk

THE DOWNDRAFT ONTO THE RANGE TOP CAN CAUSE THE BURNERS TOMELT, OR MAY EXTINGUISH THE FLAME ON THE BURNER, ALLOWING LP GAS TO FLOW INTOTHE MOTORHOME. BOTH CONDITIONS INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND PERSONALINJURY.

The remedy

INSTALL A PARTITION BETWEEN THE STOVE AND THE FURNACE, ELIMINATING AIRFLOW BETWEEN THE TWO APPLIANCES.

Notes

SYSTEM: OTHER EQUIPMENT: STOVE.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORHOMES.

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.
