What this recall means for you
Certain trailers have a three-burner cooking stove whose saddle valve securing bolt may have been overtightened. This can damage the O-ring seal and cause a continuous gas leak from the liquid petroleum gas (LPG) system.
A gas leak increases the risk of a fire. Owners should stop using the stove if they notice a gas smell or suspect a leak, and should not use it until the recall repair is completed.
The repair is free. Owners will be notified and should visit a Dometic repair center, which will install a remedy kit of gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels at no cost. To check whether your trailer is affected, contact Escape Trailer customer service at 1-604-703-1650, referencing recall number E012020, or check your VIN for open recalls.
