Description
Open range is recalling certain model year 2011 journeyer, open range, and roamer recreational vehicles manufactured from july 1, 2010, through september 20, 2010, 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.
Consequence
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.
Corrective Action
Open range is working with atwood and will replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on october 28, 2010. Owners may contact atwood at 1-574-266-4749.

DEFECT #2 - STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
Posted on: 2011-09-28
Description
Open range is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 journeyer recreational vehicles manufactured from august 27, 2009, through november 17, 2010. A main supporting cross member was cut out to run a liquid propane line. This can cause stress cracks on the i-beams on both sides of the trailers.
Consequence
While being towed, the trailer could begin a dangerous sway, ultimately rolling over, increasing the risk of personal injury or death.
Corrective Action
Open range will notify owners and inspect the frame for any missing cross supports and perform the necessary repairs free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during october 2011. Owners may contact open range at 1-260-768-7771.
