What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Open Range R.V. Company is recalling certain model year 2011 Journeyer, Open Range, and Roamer recreational vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between July 1, 2010, and September 20, 2010, and are equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens.

The recall is due to a potential small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion, causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Open Range is working with Atwood to replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on October 28, 2010. Owners may contact Atwood at 1-574-266-4749 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
