Crossroads Recalls 2016-2017 Trailers Due to Propane Fire Risk

Crossroads is recalling 2016-2017 Hill Country and Sunset Trail trailers because opening the outside kitchen door may extinguish inside burners, allowing propane to build up and potentially cause a fire or explosion.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of fire and explosion due to propane build-up, which is a significant hazard. However, the source text does not report any actual injuries, deaths, or property damage, placing it in the 'High' category for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

DS Corp DBA Crossroads RV is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Hill Country and Sunset Trail recreational trailers manufactured between May 13, 2015, and April 18, 2016. The recall affects trailers equipped with an outside kitchen compartment. In these vehicles, the inside range burners may be extinguished unintentionally when the outside kitchen compartment door is opened.

With the burners extinguished, propane may continue to flow, creating a build-up of propane gas. In the presence of an ignition source, this can increase the risk of a fire and/or explosion. The source text does not report any specific injuries, deaths, or property damage associated with this defect.

Crossroads has notified owners, and dealers will install a piece of trim to cover the air gap behind the inside range to the outside kitchen, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2016. Owners may contact Crossroads customer service at 1-855-226-7496 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
