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 (fracturing burner tubes) that creates a significant risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Shadow Trailer, LLC is recalling certain 2016-2023 Living Quarter trailers equipped with specific SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The recall addresses a defect in the internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves, which may fracture and cause a gas leak.

A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The remedy for previously sold vehicles is still under development, but service centers will order repair kits directly from the equipment supplier, Suburban Manufacturing, and install them free of charge.

Owner notification letters were mailed on April 10, 2023. Owners may contact Shadow Trailer customer service at 1-352-529-2190 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
