Recall 00V401000 · manufacturer campaign 00-086

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. THE FURNACE IS EXPOSED TO A STORAGE COMPARTMENT.

The risk

ITEMS STORED IN THE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE RANGE COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE, POTENTIALLY BECOMING HEATED AND RESULT IN A FIRE.

The fix

DEALERS WILL INSTALL SIDEWALL PANELING TO THE EXPOSED FURNACE OPENING. THIS WILL SEPARATE THE FURNACE FROM THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE RANGE.

Vehicles covered by this recall

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Is this car's recall fixed?

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
