What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorhomes equipped with international thermal research (itr)hurricane hot water heaters, the electronic control board may adversely affect safety features in some of the systems protecting against overheating and potential fire situation.

Possible consequence

If the safety features do not shut down properly, the heating system can continue heating, possibly resulting in a fire.

Remedy

The defective electronic control board will be replaced. In the meantime, customers should turn the system off using the master on/off switch located on the side of the electronic control box which is adjacent to the heater. Owners who take their motorhomes to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact itr at 1-800-755-1272 or at winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
