34 units affected
On certain travel trailers equipped with Frigidaire KG series microwaves, a defect in the microwave oven keypad could cause the oven to activate without pressing any keys. This could result in excessive heat, smoke or possibly a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace affected circuit boards. In the interim, consumers should unplug their microwave ovens, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the microwave is replaced.
Fuel System#2012318September 25, 2012
4 units affected
On certain fifth wheel trailers, suspension travel may allow a support for the Liquid Propane (LP) hose located under the slideout room to contact the tire. This could damage the LP line, which could result in a leak. A propane gas leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire or an explosion, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the LP hose support with an updated version.
Fuel System#2012291August 27, 2012
6 units affected
On certain fifth wheel trailers, the Liquid Propane (LP) gas lines to the generator may have been connected incorrectly during vehicle assembly. This could allow the generator to vent LP gas directly into the generator compartment. Propane gas, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire or an explosion, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, relocate the LP supply line.
