What's wrong?
The Atwood on-demand water heater in 2014-2016 Tiny Idahomes Cascade, Clear Creek, and Carpathian travel trailers heats water only when a hot tap is opened. In normal operation, the water valve senses flow and the gas valve controls burner fuel so the heater delivers hot water at the selected temperature.
On the recalled trailers, the water and gas valve assembly does not control that process correctly. The heater can overheat the water going to the hot water supply tap instead of holding it at the intended temperature. That means the problem is not the faucet itself; it is the heater control hardware that manages water flow and burner operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners will not have a reliable dashboard light, sound, or visible cue that the water heater is about to overheat the water at the tap.
Who's affected?
Spans Cascade, Clear Creek, and Carpathian tiny-home trailers across the 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years, all tied to the water heater.

What's the safety risk?
Overheated water in the hot water heater can release steam, scald the operator, and increase the risk of injury. Treat the heater as the risk point, keep clear of steam, and schedule the recall service before normal use. Repair will be free at any franchised Tiny Idahomes dealer once available.
