- The defect
- Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain 2015 Free Spirit, 2015-2018 Unity, 2015-2016 Libero, 2015-2018 Serenity, and Wonder recreational vehicles. Please see attached 573 for a complete list of model numbers. The refrigerator exhaust vents directly onto the wood frame and surfaces, which can overheat the wood.
- What it can cause
- An overheated wood frame could ignite and cause a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install metal heat deflectors and screws, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 23, 2021. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#8721-1.
- 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 2,056 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Triple E RV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 14 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V400000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V722000 (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 Triple E Recreational Vehicles with NHTSA on October 18, 2021 as campaign 21V820000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
