Breckenridge recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2013 Breckenridge brand travel trailers manufactured from May 26, 2009, through May 2, 2012, and equipped with Atwood Mobile Products (Atwood) furnaces. The furnaces were produced with a defective gas control valve which can stick in the open position.
What could happen
If the gas valve sticks in the open position, gas could leak out and, in the presence of an ignition source, result in a fire.
The fix
Dutchmen will notify owners, and dealers will repair the furnaces, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 17, 2012. Owners may contact Breckenridge Warranty Service Department at 1-800-223-2376.
