- The defect
- Kibbi, LLC (Kibbi) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Renegade RV Valencia, Verona, Verona LE, and Classic motorhomes equipped with Dometic 3 burner cooking stoves. The stove's saddle valve securing bolt may be overtightened, possibly damaging the O-ring seal and causing a continuous gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Kibbi will notify owners, and dealers will install a remedy kit of gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2021. Owners may contact Kibbi customer service at 1-574-966-0196.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 258 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Renegade vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 3 times before this, most recently in July 2013 as 13V286000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V644000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
