Triple E Recreational Vehicles Recall CA#9681-1 20V299

This notice is sent to ou in accordance with the re uirements of the National Traffic & Motor Vehicle Safet Act. Tri le E Recreational Vehicles has decided that certain 2020 Unit U24RL motorhomes manufactured between August 25, 2019 & May 15, 2020 fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard

In the situation where the latch on the utility compartment locks and there is an LP leak at the regulator and you need to shut off the LP valve, you will not be able to access the valve because this is a sealed compartment. If there were an LP leak a possible spark could ignite and cause a fire, which could cause bodily injury.
