The defect
Open Range R.V. Company (Open Range) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Residential 417RS fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured April 27, 2012, to March 6, 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 on behalf of Open Range, and dealers will replace the existing gas line with a longer gas line, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Open Range customer service at 1-260-768-7771.
