The risk

When the furnace is in use this could allow carbon monoxide fumes to vent into the trailer, which could result in serious injury or death to the passengers.

The fix

Owners and dealers will inspect for the presence of the exhaust vent and for hot exhaust air escaping from the furnace exhaust. The recall began february 20, 2004. Owners should contact dutchmen at 1-219-534-1224.
