On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with an optional exterior cook top, there is a rubber gas hose on the exterior cook top that is connected to a 8" or 9" copper tube. The copper tube is connected to the burner manifold under the cook top cover. It is possible that the copper tube and connector were not installed and the rubber tubing was connected directly to the burner manifold under the cook top. The hose is exposed to the heat generated by the burners and may melt causing a fire in the cook top box. This may cause an explosion and fire to spread to the rest of the trailer. Correction: Gas connection hose will be replaced with the proper sub assembly.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2000004.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Forest River Wildwood, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Forest River: 239 in the register, and 311 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2000.
