The problem
Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Evergreen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Amped and Amped Reactor recreational vehicles manufactured June 1, 2013, to August 31, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the generator and generator pump may shift during transit, and as a result, carbon monoxide from the generator may fill the passenger cabin when the generator is running.
The risk
If carbon monoxide enters the cabin, occupants are at an increased risk of injury.

Evergreen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and correct the generator installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2016. Owners may contact Evergreen customer service at 1-574-825-4298.
