What's wrong?
The furnace in a 2016-2017 Cruiser Rv Boss trailer burns LP gas to heat the living area. The exhaust ports are the openings that route combustion gases out of the furnace, so their position matters for safe operation. On Boss Toy Hauler 4290 trailers in this recall, the furnace is mounted vertically.
The problem is the way that vertical installation was done. Cruiser Rv found that the exhaust ports were placed at the top of the furnace instead of at the bottom, which does not match the installation information for this furnace. That installation error leaves the furnace set up in an orientation the supplier identified as a safety concern.
The warning sign is poor furnace operation. If the furnace does not light, heat, or run normally, treat that as the sign connected to this recall and stop using the furnace until the recall repair is complete.
Who's affected?
This is a narrow recall: one Boss model across two model years, both tied to the furnace.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect furnace port placement can restrict the chamber, making furnace operation unsafe and increasing the risk of injury. If the furnace does not work properly, stop using it and schedule the recall repair before relying on it again. Repair is free at any franchised Cruiser Rv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2017 Cruiser Rv Boss is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cruiser Rv dealer to schedule the free furnace reinstallation that puts the exhaust port at the bottom.
- Bring the recall notice if Cruiser Rv mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V074 when you call.
- Avoid using the furnace until the repair is complete.
- Call Cruiser Rv customer service at 1-866-277-5630 with questions about scheduling or owner notification.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cruiser Rv technician repositions and reinstalls the furnace so the exhaust port sits at the bottom, not at the top. That corrects the furnace orientation described in recall 17V074 for affected Boss trailers. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Cruiser Rv began the recall on March 8, 2017, so the remedy is available through the dealer process.
