What's wrong

The problem

CERTAIN TRAVEL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS HAVE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED FURNACE EXHAUST VENTS.

The risk

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT WILL ALLOW THE EXHAUST FUMES, CONTAINING COMBUSTION PRODUCTS INCLUDING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS, TO ENTER INTO THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS OF THE TRAILER.

What to do

The fix

OWNERS/DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT AND, IF NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, THE DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE EXHAUST VENT FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS ARE BEING INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE THE FURNACE UNTIL THE EXHAUST VENT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND IS PROPERLY REPAIRED. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 2, 2005.
