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

Thor Industries is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2013 Breckenridge brand travel trailers manufactured between May 26, 2009, and May 2, 2012. The affected models include the Xtendable, Perfect Cottage, Breckenridge, Classic Breeze, Fine Life Cottage, Bayridge, and Breckenridge. These specific units are equipped with Atwood Mobile Products furnaces.

The recall is due to a defective gas control valve in the furnaces that can stick in the open position. If the valve sticks open, gas could leak out and, in the presence of an ignition source, result in a fire.

The safety recall began on August 17, 2012. Dealers will repair the furnaces free of charge. Owners may contact the Breckenridge Warranty Service Department at 1-800-223-2376 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
