Plain-English summary

Lance Camper Mfg. Corp. is recalling certain model year 2011 recreational vehicles, including models 850, 992, 1681, 1881, and 2285. These vehicles were manufactured between July 1, 2010, and September 30, 2010, and are equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens.

The recall addresses 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.
