Various motorhomes
Published 11 September 2017
Product
Various vehicles converted into motorhomes by The Motorhome Conversion Company at Slacks Creek, Queensland.
Why it was recalled
1. Main run of gas piping to the cooker (and the BBQ, if fitted) is located internally instead of outside the motorhome. 2. Some BBQs (where fitted) are permanently connected to the gas pipe when in the stowed position. 3. The LPG cylinder compartment vent hole may be undersized. 4. Instruction labelling missing or incomplete, for example a) Cylinder compartment label may be missing information b) Internal upper and lower vents may be missing a warning label that states that the vent must remain unrestricted during use of LPG c) The cooker may be missing a label stating that ventilation is required when the cooker is in use and that the cooker must not be used for space heating.
Hazard
In the event of a gas leak from an internal main pipe run, unburnt gas may accumulate in the motorhome. This can present an asphyxiation risk. If a source of ignition is present, there may also be a fire or explosion risk. Incomplete or absent labelling may result of gas appliances being used incorrectly or unsafely and users not being aware of hazards.
