What's wrong?
The propane supply hose on a 2013-2014 Aspen Trail Travel Trailer carries propane from the trailer's LP gas system to the range burner. The range burner uses that gas for cooking, so the hose has to stay routed and protected from burner heat while the appliance is in use.
On affected trailers, heat from the range burner reaches the propane supply hose. That heat damages the hose material and can melt it. Once the hose is melted, it can lose its seal and release propane near the range instead of keeping the gas contained in the line.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a light, chime, or panel message to tell you the hose has been damaged.
Who's affected?
The scope spans 3 travel trailer makes across the 2013 and 2014 model years, all tied to equipment.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the propane hose melts, propane can leak and increase the risk of a fire. Avoid using the affected propane burner until a dealer inspects the hose routing and completes the recall repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Aspen Trail dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Aspen Trail Travel Trailer is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner notice mailed on August 7, 2013 before scheduling the repair.
- Contact a franchised Aspen Trail dealer to ask about the free copper-line installation that keeps burner heat from melting the propane supply hose.
- Avoid using the range burner until the propane-line repair is complete.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 13V293 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Aspen Trail technician installs a copper line at the propane connection in the range burner. That moves the burner connection away from the propane supply hose area identified in the recall. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm that the burner propane connection work is the recall repair tied to campaign 13V293.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 13V293?
Recall 13V293 covers 543 2013-2014 Aspen Trail Travel Trailer units with a propane supply hose routed close enough to the range burner for heat to melt it. If the hose melts, propane can leak and raise the risk of fire. Dealers install a copper line for free.
What should I do if my 2013-2014 Aspen Trail Travel Trailer is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V293. If it is, contact a franchised Aspen Trail dealer and ask for the copper line installation at the range burner propane connection. Reference recall number 13V293 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the remedy for recall 13V293 is free. The dealer installs a copper line to the propane connection in the burner so the hose is no longer exposed to the same heat.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is propane leaking near the range burner if heat melts the supply hose. Propane leakage raises the risk of fire. If your VIN is included, schedule the free dealer repair and avoid using the range until the copper line installation is complete.
What if I bought this Aspen Trail Travel Trailer used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included in recall 13V293, then call a franchised Aspen Trail dealer and reference the campaign number when scheduling the repair.
