What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Trail Boss Conversions, Inc. (Trail Boss) is recalling one 2017 Twister Horse Trailer equipped with a Norcold N306 mini refrigerator that may have a loose or missing propane gas valve test port screw.

The risk

The loose or missing propane gas port screw can allow propane gas to leak when the refrigerator is used in 'gas' mode, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Trail Boss has notified the dealer that is in possession of the one affected vehicle and the dealer will install and tighten the gas valve port screw, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2018. Owners may contact Trail Boss customer service at 1-877-546-9074.

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.
