Recall 15V302 affects 47 2013-2014 Open Range Residential trailers for a too-short kitchen slideout gas line. Repair is free at any franchised Open Range dealer.
Open Range is recalling 47 2013-2014 Residential fifth wheel trailers because the flexible gas line for the kitchen slideout is too short. When the kitchen area expands, the line can be pulled hard enough to leak gas and raise the risk of a fire; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The flexible gas line in the 2013-2014 Open Range Residential 417RS fifth wheel carries LP gas to the kitchen equipment in the slideout section. That line has to move with the slideout as it opens and closes. It needs enough length and slack so normal slideout travel does not pull on the hose or its fittings.
On affected trailers, the gas line is too short for that movement. When the kitchen slideout travels, the line can be stretched instead of flexing freely. That extra pull can stress the hose and the connections at each end. The repair uses a longer gas line so the slideout has the travel room it needs.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is in the line length and the way the slideout moves, so an owner should not count on smell, noise, or appliance behavior to appear first.
Who's affected?
Both listed model years point to the same LPG line and fitting component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
When the kitchen area is expanded, the gas line can be pulled too far. That can cause a gas leak and increase the risk of fire. Until the repair is handled, avoid expanding the kitchen area and contact an Open Range dealer for instructions. Repair will be free at any franchised Open Range dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Open Range Residential trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Open Range dealer to schedule the free longer-gas-line replacement that keeps the kitchen slideout from pulling the line tight.
- Bring the recall notice if Open Range mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V302 when you call.
- Avoid expanding the kitchen slideout until the gas line is inspected or replaced.
- Call Open Range customer service at 1-260-768-7771 with questions about the free repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Open Range technician replaces the short flexible gas line for the kitchen slideout with a longer gas line. That is the repair identified for this recall, and parts and labor are covered once the dealer repair is available. Ask the service desk to confirm that the replacement line is the recall part before the trailer goes into the bay.
