The defect

Due to a poor weld between the burner tube and the support bracket, the propane burner assembly may leak liquid propane gas into the living area of the vehicle when the range knob IS in the "on" position, even though the burner tube remains attached to the support bracket.

The remedy

Suspect burners will be replaced with burners that have been 100% tested, without charge.
