Plain-English summary

ShowHauler Trucks, Inc. is recalling one 2013 ShowHauler 20'6" msl recreational vehicle. The recall involves vehicles equipped with an Atwood on-demand water heater, specifically models OD45, OD50, or OD50CW.

The affected water heaters have a water and gas valve that may cause the unit to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap. This overheating may result in the release of steam, which could cause the operator to scald themselves and increase the risk of injury.

The recall began on January 21, 2016. ShowHauler will notify owners, and Atwood will provide a remedy kit free of charge. Owners may contact Atwood customer service at 1-574-264-2131 or ShowHauler customer service at 1-574-825-6764.
