Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Tiny Idahomes LLC is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Clear Creek and Cascade vehicles manufactured between May 1, 2014, and December 1, 2015, as well as 2015-2016 Carpathian vehicles manufactured between May 1, 2015, and December 1, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with certain Atwood on-demand water heaters that have a water and gas valve defect.

The defective valve may cause the water heater to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap. This overheating can result in the release of steam, which may cause the operator to scald themselves and increases the risk of injury.

Owners should contact Tiny Idahomes customer service at 1-208-468-0576 or Atwood customer service at 1-574-264-2131. Atwood dealers will remedy the hot water heater issue free of charge. The recall began on January 6, 2016. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
