Genesis Supreme Wanderer and Vortex RV Trailers Recalled for Cooking Stove Gas Leak

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: This recall involves a high-risk fire hazard from gas leaks in RV cooking stoves, which could cause serious injury or property damage in the confined living space of a trailer. However, no injuries, deaths, or actual fire incidents are reported in the source material, keeping the severity at High rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

Genesis Supreme RV is recalling certain 2020-2021 Wanderer and Vortex bumper pull and low profile fifth wheel trailers equipped with Dometic 3-burner cooking stoves. The safety issue involves the saddle valve securing bolt, which may be overtightened at the factory.

An overtightened securing bolt can damage the o-ring seal on the saddle valve, resulting in a continuous gas leak. A gas leak in the stove area increases the risk of fire, particularly in the confined space of an RV.

Approximately 460 units are affected by this recall. Genesis Supreme RV will notify owners and arrange for free installation of a remedy kit containing gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and warning labels. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 16, 2021.
