What this recall means for you
Certain 2015 and 2016 Highland Ridge RV fifth wheels and travel trailers, built between May 2014 and December 2015, may be missing a caution label on their side-vented sewer drain valve. The label tells operators not to leave the drain valve open to prevent sewer gas from escaping.
If the drain valve is left open, sewer gas can fill the recreational vehicle, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.
Highland Ridge will notify owners and send the missing label free of charge. Owners can contact Highland customer service at 1-260-768-7771 and reference recall number 9904272. Check your vehicle identification number for open recalls, and keep the drain valve closed unless you are actively emptying the tanks.
