Campaign:

Component:

Equipment:recreational vehicle

Manufactured:

08/21/2006 - 11/21/2006

Affected:

232

Defect:

Certain suburban glass top, sealed burner ranges and cook tops with serial numbers included in a range beginning with 063413053 and ending with 064704399, manufactured between august 22 and november 22, 2006, p/nos. 2950a, 2951a, 2952a, and 2953a. these ranges were installed as original equipment on certain recreational vehicles as well as sold as aftermarket equipment. a threaded connector on the tube between the burner valve and the burner may not have been fully tightened during the manufacturing process.

Consequence:

If the threaded connector is not properly tightened, it is possible for the gas to leak from the connection when the burner is turned on. lp gas is heavier than air and any leaked gas could accumulate in an enclosed or low area in your recreation vehicle. a sufficient quantity of accumulated gas, if ignited, could cause a fire or explosion.

Correction:

Each rv manufacturer will notify its owners and provide a remedy free of charge. suburban will notify the owners of the aftermarket equipment and provide a free remedy. the recall began on september 6, 2007. owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer or suburban at 423-775-2131.
