Defect: OPEN RANGE IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2011 JOURNEYER RECREATIONAL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 27, 2009, THROUGH NOVEMBER 17, 2010. A MAIN SUPPORTING CROSS MEMBER WAS CUT OUT TO RUN A LIQUID PROPANE LINE. THIS CAN CAUSE STRESS CRACKS ON THE I-BEAMS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRAILERS.
Consequence: WHILE BEING TOWED, THE TRAILER COULD BEGIN A DANGEROUS SWAY, ULTIMATELY ROLLING OVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: OPEN RANGE WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND INSPECT THE FRAME FOR ANY MISSING CROSS SUPPORTS AND PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT OPEN RANGE AT 1-260-768-7771.

A POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A SMALL FRACTURE WITHIN THE LINE DELIVERING GAS TO THE OVEN CAVITY BURNER. SUCH A FRACTURE MAY CAUSE PROPANE GAS TO LEAK FROM THE LINE.
Consequence: A PROPANE LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: OPEN RANGE IS WORKING WITH ATWOOD AND WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE STOVES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 28, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ATWOOD AT 1-574-266-4749.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
