Plain-English summary

Columbia Northwest, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Aliner Ascape trailers. The defect involves liquid propane (LP) gas bottle trays that may come loose from the frames because the wrong rivets were used to attach the trays.

If the trays detach, the LP gas bottles may fall from the trailer during travel. This condition increases the risk of a crash or a fire.

Columbia Northwest will notify owners, and dealers will secure the trays with the correct hardware free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2017. Owners may contact Columbia Northwest customer service at 1-724-237-5227 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
