Summary

ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, THE FURNACE AIR INTAKE WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED. THE AIR INTAKE MAY DRAW AIR FROM INSIDE THE UNIT "INSTEAD OF FRESH OUTSIDE AIR" WHICH CAN CAUSE IMPROPER GAS/AIR MIXTURE AND INEFFICIENT COMBUSTION. ALSO, IF THE TRANSITION TUBE HITS THE FURNACE AIR INTAKE TUBE END TO END, INSTEAD OF OVERLAPPING, THE PRESSURE CAN PUSH THE FURNACE INTAKE TUBE INTO THE BLOWER HOUSING/WHEEL.

Consequence

SOOT CAN ACCUMULATE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE UNIT AT THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT AND THE BLOWER HOUSING/WHEEL COULD BIND CAUSING RUBBING AND POSSIBLE FAILURE.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND VERIFY THE TRANSITION PIPE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND REPAIR IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE RV AT 1-866-425-4369.
