What's wrong?
The BRK CO250RVA carbon monoxide detector is the alarm that watches the cabin air in these 2025 Bontrager Outdoors 7ROD and Armor 7LT trailers. Carbon monoxide is odorless, so the detector gives occupants an audible warning when the gas is present. That warning gives people time to get out of the camper and get fresh air.
On affected trailers, the detector was left out during production. Bontrager Outdoors said the unit was built without an LP gas source, but the required detector was still missing. The fix is to supply and install the carbon monoxide detector so the camper has the safety equipment it should have had from the start.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the detector is missing, there is no cabin alarm to alert occupants to carbon monoxide.
Who's affected?
Both listed trailer models use the BRK CO250RVA carbon monoxide detector named in the recall.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the required carbon monoxide detector, occupants are not alerted when carbon monoxide reaches elevated levels, increasing the risk of injury. Until the detector is installed, schedule the recall repair before using the trailer for occupied camping. Repair is free at any franchised Bontrager Outdoors dealer.
