Trails West Sierra Recall 22V026: Propane Regulator May Fail, Increasing Fire Risk

NHTSA campaign 22V026, reported January 21, 2022, 506 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain trailers built between 2017 and 2021 are equipped with Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulators that may fail. When the regulator fails, propane pressure can increase, which enlarges the flames in gas appliances.

The higher pressure raises the risk of a fire. Owners should take this recall seriously and have the affected trailer inspected as soon as possible. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 27, 2022.

Authorized dealers will replace the propane regulators free of charge. Owners with questions can contact Trails West customer service at 1-208-852-2200. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
