What's wrong?
In affected 2019-2021 Newmar motorhomes, the Dometic propane gas stove is the cooking appliance that routes propane from the coach gas system to the burners. A small saddle valve and manifold connection help control and distribute that gas so the burner receives fuel only when the stove is being used.
The problem is at the saddle valve securing bolt. If that bolt was tightened too far during assembly, it can crush or damage the o-ring seal at the valve-to-manifold connection. Once the seal is damaged, propane can leak continuously at that joint instead of staying contained inside the stove's gas path.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the defect involves a gas seal inside the stove assembly, owners should not rely on a visible cue before the leak starts. A gas leak increases the risk of a fire and injury.
