Recall for converted motorhomes
Queensland converter recalls some motorhomes over safety fearsBrisbane-based The Motorhome Conversion Company has recalled some of the vehicles it has converted due to the risk of explosion or asphyxiation from the way gas piping has been installed.
A notice on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Product Safety Recall website states that one of the defects relates to the main run of gas piping to the cooker, and the BBQ if fitted, located internally instead of outside the motorhome.
“In the event of a gas leak from an internal main pipe run, unburnt gas may accumulate in the motorhome. This can present an asphyxiation risk,” the ACCC warned. “If a source of ignition is present, there may also be a fire or explosion risk.
“Incomplete or absent labelling may result of gas appliances being used incorrectly or unsafely and users not being aware of hazards.”
Owners of affected vehicles should stop using the gas appliances in their motorhomes, and contact The Motorhome Conversion Company on 1300 851 079 to organize an inspection and rectification work if required.
The 12-year-old business, which sells its motorhomes direct to the public, will also attempt to get in contact with affected owners.
