- The defect
- Outback Customs, LLC (Outback) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Cimarron, and 2018-2020 Elite horse trailers, equipped with certain 3 burner cooking stoves, with part numbers S31, R1731 and R2131. The saddle valve securing bolt may be overtightened, possibly damaging the O-ring seal and causing a continuous gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a remedy kit of gaskets, washers, thread locker bolts, and two round orange labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 18, 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 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% 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 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 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: 23V320000 (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 23V321000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
