Triple E Unity Recall 20V669: Propane Leak in Water Heater Connection Can Cause Fire

NHTSA campaign 20V669, reported October 29, 2020, 832 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The propane connector on the Truma water heater fitting was made with the wrong brass connector. It does not have the correct bevel to seal against the water heater's swivel fitting, so the connection may not seal properly.

A propane leak can increase the risk of a fire. Owners should contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906 or take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. Dealers will replace the incorrect brass connector with the correct one (part number 115-3219) at no charge.

You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your motorhome is affected.
