Optimus Nova Recall

Many of the students we have on our Level 2 programs ask us for recommendations on gear. When people ask me about white gas multi-fuel stoves I strongly recommend the Optimus Nova+. The first stove we had worked like a charm and still does but the newer models we bought had a few leaking issues. (If you were on this particular Level 2 you may have seen us rolling with this punch!)

Thankfully and admirably Optimus/Katadyn have released a recall on all of these leaky stoves. If you took my advice and bought an Optimus stove then check the QA No. on the black burner housing and if it is between QA000011 and QA007313 then go to this URL: www.optimusstoves.com/caen and fill in the recall form. Optimus will then mail you out a prepaid cartoon to put the stove and pump into and will replace all the faulty parts for free. If you have the silver burner housing then there is no QA No. and no issue.

Happy Camping!
