- The defect
- Northwood Manufacturing, Inc. (Northwood) is recalling certain 2019 Arctic Fox Camper 865, Arctic Fox Camper 990, Arctic Fox Grande Ronde 28-5C, Nash Travel Trailer 29S, Nash Travel Trailer 26N, and Nash Travel Trailer 24M trailers, equipped with Dometic S31, R731, and R2131 3-burner cooking stoves. The 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
- Dometic service centers will replace the manifold bolt and valve seal, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 3, 2021. Owners may contact Northwood customer service at 1-800-766-6274. Northwood's number for this recall is 2021-001.
- 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 174 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Northwood vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in August 2007 as 07V389000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Northwood Manufacturing, Inc. with NHTSA on July 6, 2021 as campaign 21V511000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
