What's wrong?
The Suburban SDS2 2-Burner cooktop in the 2023 Pleasant Valley Teardrop trailer is the propane stove used for cooking inside the trailer. When a burner knob is opened, the gas valve lets propane move through an internal aluminum burner tube to the cooktop burner, where it is lit for normal use.
On affected cooktops, the internal aluminum burner tubes that connect the gas valves to the burners can fracture after excessive vibration or shock in recreational vehicle use. A cracked tube lets propane leak when the top burner gas valve is opened. If that propane reaches an ignition source, the result is fire or explosion, with risk of personal injury.
There is no warning sign before failure. Treat any smell of propane, hissing near the cooktop, or burner behavior that seems abnormal as a reason to shut off the appliance and keep flame sources away.
