NHTSA recall 06V318000
Equipment · Keystone RV Company
Details
What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel trailers, the furnace air intake was incorrectly installed. The air intake may draw air from inside the unit (instead of fresh outside air) which can cause improper gas/air mixture and inefficient combustion. Also, if the transition tube hits the furnace air intake tube end to end, instead of overlapping, the pressure can push the furnace intake tube into the blower housing/wheel.
Why it matters: Soot can accumulate on the outside of the unit at the furnace exhaust vent and the blower housing/wheel could bind causing rubbing and possible failure.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and verify the transition pipe is installed correctly and repair if necessary. The recall began on September 14, 2006.
