- The defect
- Outback Customs, LLC (Outback) is recalling certain 2020-2022 4 Star, 2022 CM, Featherlite, Dodge RAM RCA, 2020-2023 Cimarron, Double D, Elite, Platinum horse trailers, and 2021-2022 Mercedes Sprinter Vans, 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 support bracket, or replace the burner tubes or stove, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 11, 2023. Owners may contact Outback customer service at 1-405-745-6666.
- 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 317 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% of the 16,826 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 479. 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.
Elite vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 6 times before this, most recently in August 2013 as 13V368000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V321000 (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 Outback customs,LLC with NHTSA on May 4, 2023 as campaign 23V320000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
