The defect
Outdoors RV Manufacturing (Outdoors) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Glacier Peak and Timber Ridge trailers, 2016 Wind River and Black Stone trailers. The affected vehicles may have inadequately secured liquid propane (LP) hoses and electrical wires allowing them to be pinched or scraped during movement of the kitchen slide-out room.
The risk
If the wires or lines get pinched or scraped, the wires may short or the LP lines may leak. Either condition increases the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Outdoors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the LP line and electrical wires, securing them as necessary. Any damaged wires or hoses will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2015. Owners may contact Outdoors customer service at 1-541-624-5500. Outdoors number for this recall is 2015-001.
