What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (LPG system) that poses a significant risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Highland Ridge RV is recalling certain model year 2015 Residential 417RS fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured between May 14, 2014, and June 10, 2014. The recall involves 5 affected vehicles.
