NHTSA recall 03V243000
Equipment · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain motor homes, when the cooking range and furnace are operating at the same time, the flame on the cooking range could be forced downward over the burner or flame outage could occur. This condition is due to the location of the furnace and cooking range whereby the furnace may draw air in from above the range burners and cause a downdraft.
Why it matters: Should this occur, the flame may go out, and the liquid propane (lp) gas will continue to flow. This is a hazardous situation that could result in an explosion or fire.
The fix: Dealers will install an air restrictor panel under the range. Owner notification began July 10, 2003. Owners should contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
