Defect #1: Recreational Vehicle/trailer Malfunction (MFR Campaign: 102)
NHTSA ID: 06V292000 | MFR Campaign Number: 102
Posted on: 2006-08-04
Description
On certain motorhomes,the flame on the cooking range may be forced downward over the burner or flame outage may occur when the cooking range and furnace are operated at the same time. This is due to the possibility of a missing or incomplete cabinet panel that isolates the furnace return air.
Consequence
If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and the cabinet panel is missing or incomplete, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury, vehicle and property damage.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the cabinet assembly and, if the cabinent panel is missing or incomplete, the panel will be installed or repaired. The recall began on august 10, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at
