Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:furnace
Problem: On certain traveltrailers equipped with suburban furnaces, the furnace exhaust vent may not be present.
Risk: When the furnace is in use this could allow carbon monoxide fumes to vent into the trailer, which could result in serious injury or death to the passengers.
Fix: Owners and dealers will inspect for the presence of the exhaust vent and for hot exhaust air escaping from the furnace exhaust. The recall began february 20, 2004. Owners should contact dutchmen at 1-219-534-1224.

I have had five tire separations with the commodore tires. The dealer has checked tire pressures and the alignment of the tandem axles has been checked. The separations seem to occur after slight impacts such as potholes on the freeways or roads. *tr
