Campaign:

18E040000 on 06/19/2018

Component:

Equipment:recreational vehicle:lpg systems

Manufactured:

04/16/2018 - 05/16/2018

Affected:

2,447

Defect:

Dexter ventline and door is recalling certain ventline liquid propane gas (lp) bottle straps, part numbers c0538-19, c0538-12, and c0538-16. the lp bottle strap crimping may be insufficient, potentially causing the strap buckle to detach after the lp gas bottle has been removed.

Consequence:

If the strap buckle detaches from the strap, preventing the lp tank from being properly retained after the tank is replaced, the unrestrained tank can fall from the trailer, potentially being a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

Correction:

Dexter ventline and door has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers and those companies are conducting recalls and notifying owners. dealers for the companies will replace the lp bottle straps, free of charge. owners may contact dexter ventline and door customer service at 1-800-400-2164. dexter ventline and door's numbers for this recall are 9902385, and 9901385.

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.
