What's wrong?
The water heater in the 2014 Triple E Rv Regency GT heats water for the hot water taps in the motorhome. On affected motorhomes, the Atwood On Demand Water Heater uses a water and gas valve to control water flow and burner operation. That balance keeps the water hot enough for use without letting the tap water overheat.
The problem is in the poppet valve's water flow adjustment. The setting can drift during transit or leave the factory set too low, at .3 gallon per minute or less. With too little water moving through the heater, the burner adds heat to a smaller flow of water, so the hot water supply tap can deliver water hotter than intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. Treat unexpectedly hot water at the tap as a reason to stop using the water heater until the recall repair is handled.
