The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The propane manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that the RV needed to be taken to their location for the recall repair however, if the RV was to be repaired elsewhere, it was not guaranteed that the contact would be reimbursed for the recall repair. The contact was unaware if there was a failure since she had not turned on the propane tank. Parts distribution disconnect.

Stem on front burner started leaking propane melted the plastic and caught on fire due to flame from leaking valve. Contacted manufacture dometic of issue and no response
We have a Dometic range top/oven stove in our Jayco camper. While camping for two days I went to light the manual pilot light in our oven. I put the oven dial over to pilot and attempted to both put the match near the pilot outlet and push in the dial to activate the pilot gas flow. I could not do both so I went outside to get a helper. While outside it was decided to cook dinner on the camp fire. I forgot to go back inside and to turn the oven nob from pilot to off. Awhile later my wife went into the camper and it was "full" of propane gas. She opened a window and the door along with turning on the microwave vent fan to air out the camper. It seems to me that the safty gas valve should not leak propane while just in the pilot position.
