What's wrong?
The Dometic cook range in affected 2018-2021 Lance Travel Trailer units is the propane cooking stove installed inside the trailer. Its normal job is to route propane through sealed burner controls, light the burner when selected, and keep gas contained when the stove is off. That seal matters because the appliance sits inside the living space.
In the recalled R1731, R2131, and S31 stove ranges, propane gas leaks from the cooking stove within the listed serial number groups. Dometic had not determined the cause of the leaks when the defect report was filed, so the public record does not identify a failed gasket, valve, or fitting. The practical problem is simple: propane that should stay inside the stove system escapes into the trailer.
The warning sign is the smell of gas near the appliance or inside the trailer. Dometic also reported one ignition instance that damaged the piezo igniter and one control knob, so treat any gas smell around the stove as a stop-use warning.
