What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in the gas system that can cause a leak and fire, meeting the rubric criteria for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (fire risk).

Plain-English summary

Escape Trailer is recalling certain 2018-2021 Escape 17, 19, 21, and 5.0TA travel trailers. These vehicles are equipped with certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The recall affects 880 units.

The internal aluminum burner tubes connecting the gas valves to the cooktop burners can fracture from excessive vibration or shock. This fracture can cause a gas leak. A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Dealers will replace the cooktop free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 23, 2022. Owners may contact Escape Trailers customer service at 1-604-703-1650 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
