The defect
Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain 2020 Unity U24RL trailers. The propane tubing for the water heater may be routed too close to the tire tread possibly resulting in contact between the tire and the tubing.
The risk
Tire contact with the propane tubing can create a hole in the tubing, releasing propane gas, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
The remedy
Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will install a metal shield around the propane tubing for protection, free of charge. The recall began December 30, 2019. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#9572-1.
