Recall 07V595000
Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/trailer — Host Campers · reported 21 Dec 2007 · 73 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCK CAMPERS AND CLASS C MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SUBURBAN GLASS TOP, SEALED BURNER RANGES AND COOK TOPS WITH SERIAL NUMBERS INCLUDED IN A RANGE BEGINNING WITH 063413053 AND ENDING WITH 064704399, P/NOS. 2950A, 2951A, 2952A, AND 2953A, A THREADED CONNECTOR ON THE TUBE BETWEEN THE BURNER VALVE AND THE BURNER MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FULLY TIGHTENED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.
The risk
IF THE THREADED CONNECTOR IS NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE GAS TO LEAK FROM THE CONNECTION WHEN THE BURNER IS TURNED ON. LP GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY LEAKED GAS COULD ACCUMULATE IN AN ENCLOSED OR LOW AREA IN YOUR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF ACCUMULATED GAS, IF IGNITED, COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
The fix
HOST IS WORKING WITH SUBURBAN TO REPAIR THESE COOKING APPLIANCES. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HOST AT 1-541-330-2328 OR SUBURBAN AT 423-775-2131.
CUSTOMERS MAY CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
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.
