Elite is recalling 317 2020-2023 Horse Trailer, Sprinter, and Dodge Ram Rca vehicles and trailers under recall 23V320 because certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops have aluminum burner tubes that can fracture and leak gas.

What's wrong?

The SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktop in affected 2020-2023 Elite Horse Trailer, Sprinter, and Dodge Ram Rca builds uses aluminum burner tubes inside the appliance. Those tubes connect the gas valves at the control knobs to the burners. When the cooktop is working correctly, gas moves through the tubes only after the valve is turned on, then reaches the burner for ignition.

On affected units, the gas manifold near the control knobs can loosen as the trailer or van vibrates in normal use. That movement puts repeated impact on the aluminum burner tubes. Over time, the metal can harden and fracture, which lets gas leak from the cooktop when the valve is opened.

Owners can notice a louder than normal hissing sound or a propane smell when the cooktop gas valve is turned on. The cooktop control knob can also feel loose or become hard to operate.

Who's affected?

The included trailers span Horse Trailer, Sprinter, and Dodge Ram Rca models from 2020-2023, all tied to the same oven/stove/cooktop burner tube.

What's the safety risk?

A gas leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Warning signs include a louder hissing sound, propane odor when the cooktop gas valve is turned on, or a loose control knob that is hard to operate. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Horse Trailer, Sprinter, or Dodge Ram Rca is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the free cooktop repair that adds a support bracket or replaces the burner tubes or stove to stop the gas leak.
  3. Avoid using the cooktop until the repair is complete, since fractured burner tubes can leak gas near an ignition source.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 23V320 when you call the dealer.
  5. Call Elite customer service at 1-405-745-6666 with questions and reference recall number 23V320 when you call.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Dodge technician inspects the SDS2 burner tube setup on the cooktop. The dealer installs a support bracket, or replaces the burner tubes or stove when the inspection shows those parts need replacement. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. The work addresses burner tubes that can fracture at the gas valves and allow a gas leak.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 23V320?

Recall 23V320 covers 317 2020-2023 Elite Horse Trailer, Sprinter, and Dodge Ram Rca vehicles equipped with certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The internal aluminum burner tubes can fracture and leak gas. Dealers will install a support bracket, replace burner tubes, or replace the stove for free.

What should I do if my 2020-2023 Elite Horse Trailer, Sprinter, or Dodge Ram Rca is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 23V320. If it is, contact the dealer handling the recall or Outback customer service at 1-405-745-6666. Ask for the free cooktop bracket installation, burner tube replacement, or stove replacement.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says dealers will install a support bracket, replace burner tubes, or replace the stove free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is fire. If an internal aluminum burner tube fractures, gas can leak from the cooktop. A gas leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire, so stop using the cooktop until the recall repair is complete.

What if I bought this vehicle used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included, then contact the dealer handling the recall or Outback customer service and reference recall 23V320.
