EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:OVEN/STOVE/COOKTOP
- The defect
- Shadow Trailer, LLC (Shadow Trailer) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Living Quarter 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
- Service centers will order repair kits directly from the equipment supplier, Suburban Manufacturing, and install the kits, free of charge. The remedy for previously sold vehicles is still under development. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2023. Owners may contact Shadow Trailer customer service at 1-352-529-2190.
- 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. Please be reminded of the following requirements: You are required to submit a draft owner notification letter to this office no less than five days prior to mailing it to the customers. Also, copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy of the final owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be submitted to this office no later than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner). Please be reminded that under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or introduce or deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety defect once the manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer's instructions. As stated in 49 U.S.C. § 30118(f), submission of 8 consecutive quarterly reports is required. As described in 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will be due on, or before, 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter.
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 270 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% 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 2016 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Shadow vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V948000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V948000 (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 Shadow Trailer, LLC with NHTSA on March 24, 2023 as campaign 23V197000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
