What this means for you

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

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

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

Plain-English summary

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2020 Unity U24RL trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the propane tubing for the water heater may be routed too close to the tire tread. This proximity allows for possible contact between the tire and the tubing.

Tire contact with the propane tubing can create a hole in the tubing, releasing propane gas. This release increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source. The recall began on December 30, 2019.

Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will install a metal shield around the propane tubing for protection, free of charge. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
