'Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire'
National recall
after fears motorhome gas pipes
could
develop lethal leaks
 
Have your say
FEARS that
gas pipes to ovens in some motorhomes could spring a leak have sparked a
national recall.
"LPG gas may accumulate within the enclosed area of the caravan and there
may be risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire, which could result in
serious illness, injury or death," national consumer watchdog ACCC says.
It is suspected that the gas oven in some motorhomes may not be securely
mounted which could cause its gas line to develop a leak.
"Consumers should stop using the gas oven in their caravan and isolate the
gas oven by turning off the isolation valve," ACCC said.
Adria Coral models which could be affected include 660 DU, Plus 660 DU,
660 SCS, Plus 660 SCS and XL 660 SCS.
Traders who
sold Adria Coral motorhomes between January 2014 to November 2020 include
Kratzmann Caravans Qld, Sydney RV NSW, George Day Caravans WA, Apollo RV
Qld, NSW, Vic, SA, NT and Tasmania and Patto's RV Centre Vic.
ACCC says that AMH Products Pty Limited will contact affected owners in
writing and request they make an appointment to have their vehicle
modified free of charge.
For further information, consumers can contact AMH Products on 1800 370
