What's wrong?
The Atwood 35 Series range oven in these 2011 Open Range, Journeyer, and Roamer recreational vehicles uses propane to feed the oven cavity burner. A small gas line carries propane to that burner so the oven can light and hold heat for cooking. That line has to stay sealed because propane belongs inside the burner system, not in the living space of the RV.
On affected RVs, Open Range says a small fracture can exist within the line that delivers gas to the oven cavity burner. That fracture lets propane leak from the line instead of reaching only the burner. Propane is flammable, so a leak around an appliance creates a fire concern if gas builds up near an ignition source.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell propane, hear gas escaping, or the oven does not operate normally, treat that as a gas leak and shut off the propane supply.

What's the safety risk?
