Dear Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Highway Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act
RE: Dometic S31, RI 731, AND R2131 Series COOKING STOVES; Recall-20E071
Dear Valued Customer:
Northwood Manufacturing has been notified that Dometic Corporation has decided that a defect which

The Problem:
The user of a recreational vehicle can become aware of the potential defect when, after some period of
usage, begins to smell gas near the stove when it is not in operation; if the user or other servicer then
attempts to tighten the bolts that hold the valves under the stove burners, the tightening action can cause
irreversible damage to the o-ring seal at the valve(s), resulting in a continuous gas leak. Such leak can
result in a fire.
Affected Units:
The potentially affected Cooking Stoves have the following model series numbers
S31
with suffixes S31 with suffixes BMFBO, BPFBO, SPCMO, SPFMO
R1731
