The problem
On certain motor homes equipped with atwood sealed burner ranges, the range and slide-in burner tubes leading from the gas manifold to the burner heads had a depression or "kink" in the exterior bend restricting proper airflow and gas mixture.
The risk
This condition could result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
The fix
Western rv is working with atwood to have the tubes replaced on these ranges (please see 07e030). The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact atwood at 1-800-348-7418 or western rv at 1-509-457-4133.
Contacts
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.
