What is wrong
THE FLUE OUTLET FITTINGS INSTALLED ON CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE TOO SHORT TO CONNECT THE INSULATING SLEEVE TO THE FURNACE OUTER CASE. THIS COULD ALLOW HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CONCENTRATE ON THE TRAILER WALL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, THE PROPER LENGTH FLUE OUTLET FITTING WILL BE INSTALLED AT NO COST TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
