What this recall means for you
The internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves in the two-burner drop-in cooktop may fracture, which can cause a gas leak.
A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. If you own an affected trailer, stop using the cooktop until it has been inspected or repaired, and check your VIN for open recalls. The repair kit is provided free of charge through authorized service centers, which will order it from the equipment supplier and install it. For previously sold vehicles, the remedy is still under development, so contact Shadow Trailer customer service at 1-352-529-2190 for guidance.
