What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The risk

HIGH CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN THE TRAVEL TRAILER INTERIOR CAN RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OF THE OCCUPANTS.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL CONVERT THE STOVES FOR PROPANE GAS BY MAKING ADJUSTMENTS WHERE NECESSARY.

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.
