What happened

Peterson Industries is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 Excel Winslow, Limited, and Wild Cargo motor homes equipped with Suburban gas cook stoves with sealed burners. These units have an aluminum tube that carries liquid propane gas from the oven control valve to the gas orifice. This tube can break and cause a gas leak when the oven burner attempts to light, creating a hazard where gas leaking near the oven pilot can flash when ignited and cause a fire if the oven valve is not promptly turned off.

Peterson Industries will notify owners, and dealers will install a replacement gas line at no charge. The replacement line has been sourced and tested to eliminate the defect that created the stress point in the original tube. The recall began on November 3, 2010. Owners can contact Peterson Industries at 1-785-282-6825.
