2007 Western Alpine recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain motor homes equipped with atwood sealed burner ranges, the range and slide-in burner tubes leading from the gas manifold to the burner heads had a depression or "kink" in the exterior bend restricting proper airflow and gas mixture.

πŸ’₯ The risk

This condition could result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

πŸ”§ The fix

Western rv is working with atwood to have the tubes replaced on these ranges (please see 07E030). The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact atwood at 1-800-348-7418 or western rv at 1-509-457-4133.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
