Recall 07V-405: 2007–2008 Born Free 24 Rear Bath, 2007–2008 Born Free 26 Rear Bath and 4 more
DODGEN INDUSTRIES, INC. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Sep 25, 2007, covering about 19 vehicles.
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 your recreation vehicle. A sufficient quantity of accumulated gas, if ignited, could cause a fire or explosion.
The fix
Dodgen is working with suburban to have the burner tubes replaced free of charge(Please see 07e050) . Owners may contact suburban at 423-775-2131 or call dodgen at 800-247-1835.
