DTNA will notify the owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the airline and heater cord routing and secure them, if needed, free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on July 18, 2017. The recall began on September 29, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-739.
