- The problem
- On certain travel and fifth wheel trailers equipped with suburban and atwood furnaces, the furnace exhaust vent was improperly installed. The furnace exhaust vent will allow leakage of fumes which contain combustion products, including a high concentration of potentially lethal carbon monoxide gas.
- The risk
- Fumes could enter into the trailer and could result in serious injury or death.
- The fix
- Owners will receive instructions on inspecting the furnace vent. If an owner believes the vent is installed incorrectly, is not sure how to inspect the furnace exhaust vent, or needs assistance in getting the furnace exhaust vent installation inspected and corrected, owners should contact thor immediately at 1-877-870-2638 or via the internet at http://www.Thorca.Com. The recall began on june 15, 2006.
