Escape Trailer (Escape Trailer) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Escape 17, 19, 21, and 5.0TA travel trailers, equipped with certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The internal aluminum burner tubes connecting the gas valves to the cook top burners can fracture from excessive vibration or shock, causing a gas leak.
Escape Trailer is recalling certain 2020 19, 21C, 21NE and 5.0 RV trailers equipped with Dometic 3 burner cooking stoves. The stove's saddle valve securing bolt may be overtightened, possibly damaging the O-ring seal and causing a continuous gas leak.
Suburban propane stove SDS2 had a broken gas pipe (flange broken) that would have caused a leak if it had been used. The pipe flange breaks if the pipe is securely tightened; if not, the pipe itself breaks. In my case the flange was broken when we inspected it. In the photo, one end has the flange intact, and the other end is where it broke off. Both ends should be identical. The trailer had not been used on anything but paved roads and that burner of the stove had not been used.
