What's wrong?
The LP quick disconnect on the 2022 East To West Alta travel trailer is the fitting that lets the exterior grill connect to the trailer's LP gas system. When it is tightened correctly, it seals the connection so gas reaches the grill instead of escaping around the fitting.
On affected Alta trailers, that fitting was installed loose because of a manufacturing installation error. A loose fitting leaves an opening at the grill connection. When the LP gas system is turned on, gas can leak from that exterior connection instead of staying inside the line. The recall repair corrects the loose fitting so the connection seals properly.
The warning sign is the smell of LP gas near the exterior grill or fitting. If you smell LP gas, turn off the gas supply and stop using the grill until the trailer is inspected and repaired.

What's the safety risk?
A propane gas leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. If you smell LP Gas, keep ignition sources away, stop using the propane system, and arrange service before continued use. Dealers inspect and tighten the fitting and run a propane system check. Repair is free at any franchised East To West dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 East To West Alta is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised East To West dealer to schedule the free LP gas quick disconnect fitting inspection, tightening, and propane system check.
- Bring the recall notice. If you do not have it, reference recall number 21V724 when you call.
- Avoid using the LP gas system until the dealer confirms the fitting is tight and the propane system check is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an East To West technician inspects the LP gas quick disconnect fitting, tightens it if needed, and runs a propane system check. The recall inspection and repair are free, including parts and labor tied to the fitting. If you already paid for a repair within the scope of this defect, East To West says you still need the recall inspection so the dealer confirms the correct parts and procedures. To claim a refund for covered prior repairs, submit the service invoice to East To West Forest River, Attn: Warranty Manager, in Elkhart, Indiana.
