What's wrong?

The recalled equipment is the plug-in remote control receiver used with Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame electric fireplaces, stoves, and fireplace inserts in 2000-2010 Nu Wa recreational trailers. The receiver sits between the remote and the fireplace. Its normal job is to accept the remote signal and pass the on or off command to the electric fireplace.

In NHTSA campaign 10V419, the receiver is the part identified as unsafe. It can overheat while plugged in, even though the fireplace equipment is supposed to operate without that heat buildup. The available recall information does not name a deeper root cause, so the practical issue for an owner is the receiver itself, not routine fireplace use.

There is no warning sign before failure. If the remote receiver is still installed, an owner should treat it as the problem part even when the fireplace appears to work normally.

Who's affected?

Scope spans the Discovery Series, Champagne Edition, Snowvilla, Ls, Premier, Snowbird SE102, and Swnovilla trailer lines, all tied to the equipment component.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

An overheated receiver creates a fire risk. If your VIN is included, stop using the affected receiver or remote control equipment until the replacement kit is handled, and keep the area clear of materials that can burn. Repair will be free at any franchised Nu Wa dealer once available.

What should I do?

  3. Reference recall number 10V419 when you call so customer service can match your trailer to the fireplace remote-control receiver recall.
  4. Stop using the Dimplex electric fireplace remote receiver until the replacement kit is installed.
  5. Keep the recall notice with your trailer records after the replacement kit is installed.
