What's wrong?
The outside range on these 2017 Highland Ridge Tt Roamer, Open Range, and Mesa Ridge trailers is a slide-out cooking appliance built into the trailer side wall. Its gas valve is supposed to be turned off before the range is pushed back into storage, so propane does not feed the appliance while it is enclosed. The opening around the drawer has to hold the range in the correct position.
On affected trailers, the range drawer opening was cut larger than specification during production. That extra space allows the outside range to be stored inside the side wall with the gas valve still open. With the valve left on, gas enters the enclosed area and builds up inside the trailer instead of staying shut off at the appliance.
There is no warning sign before failure. Treat the problem as a storage and gas shutoff issue, not as a part that gives a clear sound, light, or change in operation before gas enters the trailer.
Who's affected?
Covers three trailer lines from the 2017 model year, all tied to recreational vehicle/trailer equipment.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Gas leaking into the cabin can increase the risk of an explosion or fire. Keep the range gas valve turned off before storing the range in the unit, and have the range inspected before continued use. Repair will be free at any franchised Highland Ridge Tt dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Highland Ridge Tt Roamer, Open Range, or Mesa Ridge is included in this recall.
- Wait for Highland Ridge Tt repair instructions before scheduling service if your dealer says the final remedy is not open.
- Contact Highland Ridge Tt customer service at 1-260-768-7771 with questions and reference recall number 17V037.
- Keep the outside range gas valve turned off before storing the range in the unit.
- Schedule the larger gas-valve-handle installation, drawer-guide-rail inspection, and warning-label repair that helps prevent gas from building up inside the trailer.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Highland Ridge Tt technician installs a larger gas valve handle, checks that the drawer guide rail is positioned correctly, repairs the guide rail if needed, and adds a warning label to the range. The label tells owners to turn the gas valve off before storing the range in the unit. Because this record lists the remedy as still under development, do not treat the final repair as ready to schedule until Highland Ridge Tt opens it. The dealer repair will be free once available.
