Just got a notice from P.I. that there is a recall of Atwood sealed burner ranges installed in Limiteds during this period (Burner Tubes R-A33 and C-A33). Issue could result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you're affected but have not received a notice, check with Atwood (800-348-7418) or P.I. ASAP.

Don't know the exact details of the Atwood units- had called Atwood, and they wanted the serial number, which I didn't have access to at the time. P.I. letter says the ranges were installed in rigs built Dec '06 thru May '07.

Atwood said the kink can result in carbon buildup under the range top and could result in carbon monoxide problem. They said that would only be a concern while the range top is in use, and that there is no danger with the burner(s) off.

Hope that helps!

Rick

I just called Atwood. Right model number, but my serial number did not appear on the list for recall.
