The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Sunnybrook RV Inc. is recalling certain recreational vehicles manufactured from October 2002 through May 2008. The affected models are the Bristol Bay, Titan, and West Pointe. These vehicles are equipped with Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame branded electric fireplaces, stoves, or fireplace inserts.
The recall is due to a defect in the plug-in remote control receiver for the fireplace, which can overheat. An overheated receiver could cause a fire.
Sunnybrook is working with Dimplex to provide owners a free replacement plug-in remote control kit. The safety recall is expected to begin during December 2010. Owners may contact Dimplex North America Customer Service at 1-888-346-7539 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
