What's wrong: These vehicles are equipped with dimplex electraflame, symphony, or optiflame branded electric fireplaces, stoves, and fireplace inserts. The plug in remote control receiver for the fireplace can overheat.

Why it matters: An overheated receiver could cause a fire.

The fix: Coachmen is working with dimplex to identify and notify any affected owners. Dimplex will provide owners a free replacement plug-in remote control kit. The safety recall began on February 21, 2011.
