Highland Ridge FW Residential Recall 15V227: Gas Line May Leak When Kitchen Slideout Extends

NHTSA campaign 15V227, reported April 17, 2015, 5 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain 2015 Residential 417RS fifth wheel trailers built between May 14, 2014, and June 10, 2014. The flexible gas line serving the kitchen slideout section is too short. When the kitchen area is expanded, the line can be pulled too far, which may cause a gas leak.

A gas leak raises the risk of a fire. If your trailer was built in this window, avoid relying on the kitchen gas appliances until the line has been checked, and contact the manufacturer promptly.

The repair is free. Highland Ridge will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will replace the gas line with a longer one at no charge. Contact Highland Ridge customer service at 1-260-768-7771 and reference recall number 9904236. You can also check your VIN for open recalls. This recall expands recall 14V254.
