Recall 17V095 covers 5 2017 Palomino Columbus recreational vehicles with undersized generator propane lines. Repair is free at any franchised Palomino dealer.
Palomino is recalling 5 2017 Columbus recreational vehicles equipped for an optional generator because an undersized LP supply hose can starve the stove burners of propane and extinguish the flame. If the burner goes out, propane can keep flowing inside the vehicle and raise the risk of fire or explosion when the range is re-ignited; the dealer repair will be free once Palomino makes it available.

What's wrong?
The 2017 Palomino Columbus uses a liquid propane, or LP, system to feed appliances such as the stove and to support the generator prep package when that equipment is installed. The LP manifold line and supply hose are supposed to carry enough propane for those appliances to stay lit and operate normally.
On affected Columbus RVs, the manifold line to the generator prep is too small. When the LP system is under demand, that undersized line can restrict propane flow. The stove burners can lose fuel and go out instead of staying lit. If propane continues escaping after a flame goes out, LP can enter the living quarters.
An owner can notice LP appliances shutting down sporadically before the problem becomes more serious. The warning signs are the smell of excess propane, an audible LP safety alarm, or both.
Who's affected?
This recall names two equipment areas on the same Columbus trailer: recreational vehicle/trailer equipment and the LPG system.
| 2017 Palomino Columbus | Lpg systems |
|---|---|
| 2017 Palomino Columbus | Recreational vehicle/trailer |
| Units affected | 5 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
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 a burner will not stay lit, propane can keep flowing into the living area after the flame goes out. Reigniting the range then increases the risk of fire or explosion. Treat LP odor or the LP safety alarm as a reason to stop using the range and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Palomino dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Palomino Columbus is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Palomino dealer to ask when the free propane supply line repair is available for your VIN.
- Schedule the correct propane supply line installation that helps the stove burners stay lit.
- Avoid using the stove if burners will not stay lit; propane can continue flowing after the flame goes out.
- Bring the recall notice if Palomino mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V095 when you call.
What happens at the repair
Once the dealer repair is available, a Palomino technician will install the correct propane supply lines for the generator package. The fix is meant to restore proper propane flow so the stove burners stay lit. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Palomino has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related repair. Contact Palomino customer service with documentation for the prior propane supply line repair.
