Plain-English summary

Highland Ridge RV is recalling certain model year 2015 Open Range fifth wheels, 2015-2016 3X fifth wheels, and 2015-2016 Highlander travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between May 8, 2014, and December 4, 2015, and are equipped with a side vented sewer drainage system termination valve. The recall affects 180 units.
