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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a gas line that could lead to a fire or explosion, which aligns with the rubric criteria for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (potential for severe harm).

Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain Class-A and Class-C motor homes equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens. The affected vehicles include 2011 model year Fleetwood Tioga Ranger, Storm, Terra, Tioga, Jamboree Sport, and Jamboree models.

A potential fracture may exist 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.

Fleetwood is working with Atwood to replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during November 2010. Owners may contact Atwood at 1-574-266-4749 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
