Summary:
DUTCHMEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 RUBICON TRAVEL TRAILERS MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 8, 2010, THROUGH JULY 15, 2011. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH THE EXTERIOR FURNACE VENT NOT INSTALLED IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TRAILER. THE FURNACE CAN RUN WITHOUT THE PROPER EXHAUST VENTILATION AND RELEASE CARBON MONOXIDE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.
Consequence:
THIS COULD RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE HEAT BUILD UP FROM THE EXHAUST CAN ALSO RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRAILER TO VERIFY THE FURNACE EXHAUST IS PRESENT AND INSTALL ONE IF NECESSARY
Unbelievable, folks. Building Rv's for 7 months and not noticing that there was no exterior venting for the furnace? Do you think the word incompetent applies here? How about just plain dumb? And dumber?
