- The defect
- Nexus RV's, LLC (Nexus) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Nexus Bentley, Bentley Diamond, Evoque, Ghost, Maybach, Wraith, Phantom, Triumph, and Viper recreational vehicles, built on International or Ford chassis. These vehicles are equipped with certain Dometic 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
- Nexus will work with Dometic, who will install a remedy kit of gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2021. Owners may contact Nexus customer service at 1-574-970-0848.
- 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 2,000 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 15,355 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 485. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Nexus RVs, LLC with NHTSA on October 6, 2021 as campaign 21V780000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
