Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailerRecall 07V-408 · 2006 Travel Supreme Motorhome
TRAVEL SUPREME, INC. recall 07V-408 covers 12 2006 Travel Supreme Motorhome for a equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer problem, reported to NHTSA on September 7, 2007.
Source: NHTSA recall 07V408000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SUBURBAN GLASS TOP, SEALED BURNER RANGE OR SLIDE IN COOK TOP, 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 THE MOTOR HOME. A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF ACCUMULATED GAS, IF IGNITED, COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
The fix
TRAVEL SUPREME IS WORKING WITH SUBURBAN TO HAVE THE BURNER TUBES REPLACED (PLEASE SEE 07E-050). THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUBURBAN AT 423-775-2131 OR TRAVEL SUPREME AT 574-862-1960.
CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO 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.
