  2. Filed Apr 23, 2026Failure Jun 14, 2025Hale, MIRecreational vehicle/trailer, Oven/stove/cooktop

    Stove came equipped in my 2019 Coachmen Freedom Express 204RD and is in many other RVs. Staged a pot of coffee on the Furrion RV stove and the pot tipped over. Have had this occur multiple times. No injuries but there are multiple blogs on the internet of people experiencing the same issue with this unsafe RV stove top grate design. Smaller pans, coffee pots, etc. can tip over which could lead to a serious injury, legal liability and fires. Contacted the manufacturer of the stove (Lippert/Furrion) reporting the hazard with no reply back in June of 2025. Contacted CPSC in 2025 and filed a report with them. CPSC stated it is a vehicle related concern and should be filed with NHTSA. I believe the manufacture is still selling stoves with this unsafe design today as I have seen pictures of new brand new RVs with the same grate design. I do not want to see a pet, child or any other person injured due to this significant stove flaw. Thank you.
