Product Description & Identification
Reason / Defects: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a colourless, highly flammable gas that may leak and build up inside the caravan where the consumer gas piping is located inside the caravan. Some models may have defects in relation to the relevant gas safety standard for installation in caravans for non-propulsive purposes: LP Gas cylinder compartments are not correctly sealed or vented. Ventilation of the living area is not sized or located correctly. Gas safety labelling does not comply with the requirements for gas systems in recreational vehicles. Hazards: In the event of a gas leak, the following may occur: Incorrect LP gas cylinder storage and venting increases the risk of any leaking gas not dispersing or being diluted to safe levels. Any build-up of LP Gas increases the risk of fire or explosion. Insufficient ventilation provisions may cause a build-up of products of combustion from gas appliances within the motorhome and there may be risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which could result in serious illness, injury or death. What to do: Consumers can continue to use their gas appliances but should have the windows, door or roof vent open for more ventilation until the vehicle is repaired.
