- The defect
- Highland Ridge RV (Highland) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Mesa Ridge Limited, Mesa Ridge Lite, Open Range Light, Open Range Ultra Lite, 2019-2020 Mesa Ridge, 2019-2021 Open Range, 2020 Silverstar Limited and Silverstar Lite fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator. The regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure.
- What it can cause
- Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the regulator and test the propane system for leaks, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 3, 2021. Owners may contact Highland customer service at 1-260-768-7771.
- 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.nhtsa.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 3,072 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Highland Ridge vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 12 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V179000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V775000 (equipment), 22V303000 (equipment), 21V764000 (equipment), 21V686000 (equipment).
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.
Filed by Highland Ridge RV with NHTSA on June 4, 2021 as campaign 21V430000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
