EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc. (Trails West) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Sierra, Classic, Santa Fe, and Freeride trailers equipped with Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulators. 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 regulators, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 27, 2022. Owners may contact Trail West customer service at 1-208-852-2200.
- 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 506 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Trails West vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 4 times before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V429000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V429000 (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 Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc. with NHTSA on January 21, 2022 as campaign 22V026000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
