Plain-English summary

Escape Trailer is recalling certain 2020 model year 19, 21C, 21NE, and 5.0 RV trailers. The recall involves units equipped with Dometic 3-burner cooking stoves. The defect is that the stove's saddle valve securing bolt may be overtightened, which can damage the O-ring seal and cause a continuous gas leak.

A gas leak can increase the risk of a fire. Escape Trailer will notify owners and instruct them to visit a Dometic repair center. The repair center will install a remedy kit containing gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2021.
