The defect
On certain travel trailers, the furnace vent installed was not the correct length for the furnace model used. this could allow furnace exhaust gases including carbon monoxide gas to leak into the unit when the furnace IS in operation.
The risk
When the furnace IS in operation exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, could leak into the trailer, displacing the fresh air and causing asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. this condition could lead to severe illness or death.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the vent cap/tube assembly and air box free of charge. the recall began on august 6, 2006. owners may contact airstream at 1-877-596-6505.
