This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic & Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Triple E Recreational Vehicles has decided that a defect exists in certain 2021 & 2022 Unity (U24MB, U24IB, U24TB, U24CB, U24RL, U24TB) and Wonder (W24RTB, W24FTB, W24RL, W24MB) motorhomes manufactured between April 26, 2021 and May 6, 2022

 

Description of Defect:

Dometic Corporation has issued a Recall on the CE99-ZF 2-burner cooktop.
The user may become aware of the potential safety-related defect during operation of the cooktop. The issue is the burner control valve, mated directly to the control knob via the valve stem, may leak gas. The gas will leak directly into the recessed portion of the cooktop, where the knobs and ignitor are located, and may be ignited by the active burner(s). The ignition will result in a small pilot flame directly at the control knob. There is an increased risk of injury and fire.

 

To Have This Modification Performed:

We request your assistance to have this Safety issue corrected. Contact Dometic Corporation at recall.cooktop.22E021@dometic.com or 1-888-943-4905 or -574-389-3713 to identify if the cooktop is in the population of recalled units. Dometic Corporation will then make arrangements for the remedy. The notification from Dometic is included in this mailing for your perusal.
