What's wrong?
The LP gas line feeding the cooktop in these 2020 Forest River Wildwood, Salem, and Stealth Evo travel trailers is supposed to carry propane from the trailer's LP system to the burner controls. In the intended setup, a copper LP line connects at the cooktop, giving that connection a fixed fuel path inside the appliance area.
On affected trailers, the cooktop was built with a rubber LP gas hose hooked directly to the LP fitting inside the body of the cooktop. That is the wrong material and layout for this connection. Forest River's repair replaces the rubber line at the cooktop with a copper LP gas line, with the rubber line connected outside the cooktop instead.
Before failure, an owner can be alerted by the installed LP gas detector alarm or by the smell of LP gas. Treat either sign as a gas leak warning and stop using the cooktop until the trailer is inspected.
Who's affected?
Wildwood, Salem, and Stealth Evo trailers share the same equipment issue for the 2020 model year.

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?
A melting rubber LP gas hose can let gas enter the vehicle and increase the risk of a fire. If the LP gas detector alarm sounds or you smell LP gas, stop using the gas system, leave the vehicle, and call the dealer before further use. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
