The defect
NRC Modifications, Inc. (NRC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 NRC Motorhomes, built on Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star Chassis. These vehicles are equipped with certain Dometic 3-burner stoves. The saddle valve securing bolt may be overtightened, possibly damaging the o-ring seal and causing a continuous gas leak.
The risk
A gas leak can increase the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Dometic will notify owners on NRC's behalf, and dealers will install a remedy kit of gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2021. Owners may contact NRC customer service at 1-574-825-3646.
