Problem Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Unity recreational vehicles, models U24TB and U24IB, manufactured March 1, 2016, to June 9, 2016. The Truma propane water heater line on the affected vehicles may be damaged from items moving within the lower storage compartment, causing the line to rupture and allow propane gas to leak out. Risk A propane gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Fix Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will reposition the protective cleat for the gas line, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2016. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#8349-1.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. CA#8349-1 is the number Triple E assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V533000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
