The problem
Vehicle description: folding trailers equipped with carbon monoxide alarms. Some of these alarms may have become contaminated during shipping which will diminish the sensitivity of the alarm to detect carbon monoxide.
The risk
Personal injury or death could occur to the vehicle occupants in the event the alarm does not work and alert the occupants to the presence of carbon monoxide.
The fix
Atwood will exchange these carbon monoxide alarms at no charge to the consumer.
