Accessories#2018608November 2, 2018
34 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the outside cooktop was installed with a flexible rubber Liquid Propane (LP) hose where a rigid metal line should have been used. This is against the manufacturer’s recommendations and could result in damage to the flexible hose, which could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

Other#2017534November 1, 2017
55 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the liquid propane (LP) manifold block may have been mounted too close to the center axle shackle. This could allow the shackle to make contact and potentially damage the LP block or LP hose fitting, which could increase the risk of a propane leak and could, in the presence of an ignition source, result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate the LP manifold block away from the shackle area.

On certain travel trailers, the liquid propane (LP) hoses may not be properly secured to the frame. If the hoses are not secured they could come in contact with the trailer’s tires, potentially damaging the hoses and resulting in an propane leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will secure the LP hoses against the frame.
