What’s wrong with it?
IF CARBON MONOXIDE IS NOT DETECTED, IT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: RECREATION VEHICLE FURNACE.
SUBURBAN MODEL P-40 (STOCK NUMBER 2230) FURNACES FOR USE IN “PARK MODEL” RECREATION VEHICLES.
THESE UNITS WERE PRODUCED BETWEEN OCTOBER 21, 1999, AND AUGUST 22, 2001 WITH SERIAL NUMBERS FROM 994203292 THROUGH 995006319 AND FROM 000104166 THROUGH 013303226.
THE FANES ON THE DEFECTIVE COMBUSTION AIR BLOWER ARE IMPROPERLY ORIENTED.
THIS RESULTS IN AN INADEQUATE SUPPLY OF COMBUSTION AIR TO THE BURNER IN THE FURNACE WHICH WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE FURNACE EXHAUST.
