What's wrong?
The cooktop in these 2020-2021 Keystone Coachworks Mercedes Metris camper vans is a 2-burner LP appliance installed as part of the camper conversion. Its burner control valves open, meter, and shut off propane flow when you turn the knobs. When those valves seal correctly, gas reaches the burner only when the appliance is being used.
On affected Dometic PI8022 Series cooktops, the burner control valves can become damaged. A damaged valve does not seal or control gas flow as designed, so propane can leak at the cooktop even when the owner expects the valve to hold the gas back. Keystone Coachworks identified the included cooktops by serial number, which separates recalled units from replacement parts.
The filing does not list an owner warning sign before the valve problem. There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell gas near the cooktop or inside the van, stop using the appliance and ventilate the area.

What's the safety risk?
A gas leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, avoid using the cooktop until the repair is confirmed complete, and keep ignition sources away from the area. Repair is free at any franchised Mercedes dealer.

- Contact a franchised Mercedes dealer to confirm whether the free Dometic cooktop replacement was already completed.
