0:00.0	I'm Jason Epperson. This is RV Miles, and it's time for the latest in RV in camping news.
0:06.9	Welcome back, everybody. First up, a couple of recalls to make you aware of.
0:10.6	A Walmart camping stove is being recalled, and owners are warned to immediately stop using it after 26 reports of explosions.
0:19.0	The Ozark Trail, Tabletop One-burner butane camping stoves with
0:23.0	model number BG-2247A1 are the defective device. The model number is printed on a gray
0:30.9	label on the inside of the fuel compartment. The camping stoves are dark green with an orange
0:36.4	Ozark Trail logo printed on the front.
0:39.3	Camp stoves were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from March
0:44.2	2023 through October 2025 for between $8 and $45.
0:49.6	Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled stoves and return the product to any Walmart retail store for a full refund. And Thor Motor Coach is recalling over 6,000 motorhomes
1:00.4	due to detaching solar panels. The recalled vehicles are twist, dazzle, scope, rise, sanctuary,
1:07.2	Tolaro, Sequence, and Freedom Elite vans with model years between 2022 and
1:11.9	2024.
1:13.0	It's actually two separate recalls, one for bracket-mounted solar panels and one for
1:17.5	adhesive-mounted solar panels.
1:19.8	The brackets or adhesive may fail, allowing the solar panel to detach.
1:24.1	The remedy is currently under development interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed January 5th.
1:32.5	Not all vehicles within the model year range are recalled.
1:35.8	And just a reminder, I don't thoroughly cover RV recalls in these videos because there are many and often they affect only a few vehicles.
1:43.9	I only usually bring them up when there's a large problem and 6,000 plus motorhomes is a large problem.
1:50.0	If you want to check any vehicle you own for recalls, put your VIN in at
1:54.0	nhthsa.gov and it'll tell you if there are any and get those recalls taking care of folks.
