What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Open Range R.V. Company (Open Range) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 3X recreational trailers, model 388RKS, manufactured June 12, 2013, to May 1, 2014, and equipped with a side vented sewer drainage system termination valve. The affected vehicles may be missing a caution label to inform the operator not to leave the drain valve open to prevent an escape of sewer gas.

The risk

If the drain valve is left open, sewer gas may fill the recreational vehicle, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

The remedy

Open Range will notify owners and send them the missing label, free of charge. The recall began on February 1, 2016. Owners may contact Open Range customer service at 1-260-768-7771.

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.
