Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.

Why it matters: A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.

The fix: Tiffin is working with atwood and will replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on October 28, 2010.
