- The defect
- Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling 2010-2014 Unity U24MB, U24CB, Libero L24CB, Serenity S24CB, 2012-2014 Unity U24IB, and 2013-2014 Unity U24TB motorhomes. The refrigerator exhaust metal deflectors are missing, allowing the exhaust to vent directly onto the wood frame, 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 March 31, 2022. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#10050-1.
- 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 964 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2010 to 2014, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Triple E vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 11 times before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V820000. 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 Triple E Recreational Vehicles with NHTSA on March 8, 2022 as campaign 22V136000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
