Recall 10V-440: 2011 Excel Limited, 2010–2011 Excel Wild Cargo and 1 more
PETERSON INDUSTRIES, INC. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Sep 28, 2010, covering about 52 vehicles.
The problem
Peterson industries is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 excel winslow, limited, and wild cargo motor homes equipped with suburban gas cook stoves with sealed burners. The units involved use an aluminum tube to carry liquid propane gas from the oven control valve to the gas orifice which supplies gas to the burner. This can cause the tube to break resulting in a gas leak when the oven burner attempts to light.
The risk
A gas leak occurring in the area of the oven pilot can cause a "flash" when the gas ignites, and would cause a fire if the oven valve is not promptly turned off.
The fix
Peterson industries will notify owners and dealers will install a replacement gas line that has been sourced and tested to insure that the defect which created the stress point has been eliminated. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on november 3, 2010. Owners may contact peterson industries at 1-785-282-6825.
