What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Highland Ridge RV (Highland Ridge) is recalling certain model year 2015 Residential 417RS fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured May 14, 2014, to June 10, 2014. The flexible gas line for the kitchen slideout section is too short.

The risk

When the kitchen area is expanded, the gas line may be pulled excessively, resulting in a gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Highland Ridge will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing gas line with a new longer gas line, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 2015. Owners may contact Highland Ridge customer service at 1-260-768-7771. Highland Ridge's number for this recall is 9904236. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 14V254.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
