Recall 2017429

The issue

On certain travel trailers, the location of water heater within the slideroom of the vehicle could allow for carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle. If this were to occur, the carbon monoxide detector may not saturate thoroughly enough to signal the alarm, which would expose occupants to carbon monoxide unknowingly, and increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will relocate the water heater to a new location.

Description (français)

Dans certaines caravanes classiques, l'emplacement du chauffe-eau dans la pièce coulissante du véhicule pourrait permettre à du monoxyde de carbone d'entrer dans le véhicule. Si cela se produit, le détecteur de monoxyde de carbone pourrait ne pas se saturer suffisamment pour déclencher l'alarme, ce qui exposerait les occupants à du monoxyde de carbone sans qu'ils soient au courant. De plus, cela augmenterait les risques de blessures. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront déplacer le chauffe-eau à un nouvel emplacement.
