Plain-English summary

Compass Conversions, LLC is recalling one model year 2014 Bloomer Horse Trailer and one 2015 Platinum Horse Trailer equipped with Atwood on-demand water heaters. Additionally, one Atwood water heater from Compass Conversions inventory is included in this recall. The affected units have a gas valve that may cause the water heater to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap.

The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, which could cause the operator to scald themselves and increase the risk of injury. No specific number of affected units beyond the individual trailers and inventory item mentioned is provided in the source text.

Compass Conversions will notify owners, and Atwood dealers will install a remedy kit free of charge. The recall began on January 10, 2016.
