Plain-English summary

Open Range R.V. Company is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 3X recreational trailers, model 388RKS, manufactured between June 12, 2013, and May 1, 2014. The recall affects vehicles equipped with a side vented sewer drainage system termination valve. The defect involves a missing caution label that is intended to inform the operator not to leave the drain valve open.

If the drain valve is left open without the warning label, sewer gas may fill the recreational vehicle, which increases the risk of occupant injury. The recall began on February 1, 2016.

Open Range will notify owners and send them the missing label free of charge. Owners may contact Open Range customer service at 1-260-768-7771.
