EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:OVEN/STOVE/COOKTOP
- The defect
- Escape Trailer (Escape Trailer) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Escape 17, 19, 21, and 5.0TA travel trailers, equipped with certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The internal aluminum burner tubes connecting the gas valves to the cook top burners can fracture from excessive vibration or shock, causing a gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the cooktop, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2022. Owners may contact Escape Trailers customer service at 1-604-703-1650.
- 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 880 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Escape RV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V809000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V387000 (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 Escape Trailer with NHTSA on May 30, 2022 as campaign 22V388000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
