DEFECT #2 - EQUIPMENT
Posted on: 2010-09-30DescriptionNu wa is recalling one model year 2010 discovery series motor home equipped with suburban gas cook stoves with sealed burners. The units involved use an aluminum tube to carry liquid propane gas from the oven control valve to the gas orifice which supplies gas to the burner. This can cause the tube to break resulting in a gas leak when the oven burner attempts to light.
ConsequenceA gas leak occurring in the area of the oven pilot can cause a flash when the gas ignites, and would cause a fire if the oven valve is not promptly turned off.
Corrective ActionOne vehicle is affected for this recall campaign and in nu wa's possession therefore, owner notification will not be necessary. For further information nu wa can be reached at 1-620-431-2088.
