My Jayco has a SMEV branded cooker, so I think it should be fine, but as we are always on the lookout for an update to the van, it would be a good thing to watch out for in any future vans.

Hmm
This has been going on for 3 months
Apparently a manufacturer, or manufacturers, ignored the Swift Installation instructions and fitted the gas appliance their own way ... I have read of 3 vans (all the same maker) that have had gas explosions because of this fault.
I would strongly urge anyone with a Swft Cooker to get it checked out ASAP .
Thanks Spook for posting the recall, it seems that Swift have bitten the bullet and issued the notice, whilst the van manufacturers couldn't care less.

I saw a prime example of this yesterday at the old Clipsal site railway crossing ... It looks as though a smartass slipped in to the gap between a car in front and a semi ... result the SUV now looks like a Smart car and is a total right off.
The poor bloody truckie locked up everything trying to stop and left approx 10 metres of chatter liquorice strips on the road, from all wheels, but to no avail ... Ploughed in to the errant car which in turn ploughed in to the car in front of him.
I really wonder where some of these people get their licenses from ... common sense tells you that something with 30 plus tonne on the back is not going to pull up in the same distance as something weighing maybe 1.5 tonne.
Stay safe all and watch out for the other bloody idiots they are dangerous.
Cheers
