What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
