The problem
The flue outlet fittings installed on certain vehicles are too short to connect the insulating sleeve to the furnace outer case. This could allow high temperatures to concentrate on the trailer wall.
The fix
Vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, the proper length flue outlet fitting will be installed at no cost to owner.
