Notice (English)
On certain travel trailers, the 30 Amp power cord inlet is located directly above the exhaust outlet for the water heater. Heat from the exhaust outlet could cause the power cord or the power cord hatch to melt. This may create a fire risk. Additionally, if the cord melts to the point where bare wires are exposed, there is an increased risk of electrocution if someone touches an exposed wire. Correction: The power cord hatch will be relocated to the rear wall of the travel trailer. The remedy will include installation of a hook on the rear wall of the trailer to ensure the cord is positioned away from the water heater exhaust outlet.
Avis (français)
Dans certaines caravanes classiques, l'orifice du cordon d'alimentation de 30 A est situé directement au-dessus de la sortie d'échappement pour le chauffe-eau. La chaleur provenant de la sortie d'échappement pourrait faire fondre le cordon d'alimentation ou son panneau. Cela pourrait poser un risque d'incendie. De plus, si le cordon fond au point où des fils nus sont exposés, il y aura un risque accru d'électrocution si une personne touche un fil exposé. Mesure corrective : Le panneau du cordon d'alimentation devra être déplacé sur la paroi arrière de la caravane classique. La mesure corrective comprendra l'installation d'un crochet sur la paroi arrière de la caravane afin de s'assurer que le cordon est maintenu à l'écart de la sortie d'échappement du chauffe-eau.
