What's wrong?
The Dometic 2-burner cooktop in the 2022 Bowlus Endless Highways travel trailer uses burner control valves behind the cooking knobs. Each valve meters gas to the burner, so turning the knob opens the valve and lets gas flow for ignition. When the valve seals correctly, gas stays controlled inside the cooktop.
On affected cooktops, the metal sealing surfaces inside or outside the burner control valve have abrasions. Those scratched surfaces stop the valve from sealing as designed. Gas can leak at the valve stem area behind the knob, even though the replacement cooktop looks the same from the outside.
Owners can notice the smell of gas while the cooktop is being used, before ignition or visible flame. Treat that odor as the warning sign. Stop using the cooktop and have the recalled unit replaced with one outside the affected serial-number range.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Bowlus technician replaces the affected cooktop with a recall replacement. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. For reimbursement, the source process pays the qualified RV technician after Dometic receives the recall response card and the recalled cooktop documenting that the replacement was completed. Ask the service desk to confirm that the response card and recalled unit are sent to Dometic so the reimbursement process is completed correctly.
