- The defect
- Off Grid Trailers (Off Grid) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Pando, 2020-2023 Expedition, and Switchback travel trailers, equipped with certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. The internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves may fracture and cause 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 install a regulator support bracket in unsold vehicles. The remedy for sold units include inspecting the burner tubes, and repair, as necessary, free of charge. Previously sold units will be inspected and replace the cooktop as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Off Grid customer service at 1-780-616-2830.
- 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 150 vehicles this is a small campaign: 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Off Grid Trailers vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V400000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V400000 (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 Off Grid Trailers with NHTSA on March 2, 2023 as campaign 23V139000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
