What happened

Suburban Manufacturing is recalling certain gas cook stoves with sealed burners and ovens manufactured between November 2, 2009 and July 31, 2010. These units were sold as aftermarket equipment and as original equipment installed on various recreational vehicles. The stoves use an aluminum tube to carry LP gas from the oven control valve to the gas orifice, and this tube may break, causing a gas leak in the area of the oven pilot. When the leaking gas ignites, it can cause a flash and potentially start a fire if the oven valve is not properly turned off.

Suburban will notify owners who purchased the equipment as aftermarket and repair the units free of charge. For units originally installed on recreational vehicles, Suburban will notify the vehicle manufacturers to coordinate notification of their owners and provide the free remedy. Owners may contact Suburban at 1-423-775-2131.

Hazard

A GAS LEAK OCCURRING IN THE AREA OF THE OVEN PILOT CAN CAUSE A FLASH WHEN THE GAS IGNITES, AND WOULD CAUSE A FIRE IF THE OVEN VALVE IS NOT PROPERLY TURNED OFF.

What should I do?

SUBURBAN WILL NOTIFY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURES ON WHOSE VEHICLES THE EQUIPMENT WAS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND COORDINATE WITH THOSE MANUFACTURERS TO HAVE THEIR OWNERS NOTIFIED AND THE FREE REMEDY PROVIDED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUBURBAN AT 1-423-775-2131.
