IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

RE: NHTSA RECALL 22V350 Damage Cooktop Control Valves May Leak Gas

June 21, 2022

Dear Valued Customer,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Highway Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Oliver Travel Trailer’s has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021-2022 Elite travel trailers manufactured between August 1, 2020 and May 11, 2022 equipped with certain Dometic Corporation cooktop model PI8022.

The issue is some cooktop burner control valve, mated directly to the control knob via the valve stem, leak gas. While being used the smell of gas may precede any ignition, presence of flame and/or ignition will result in a small pilot flame directly at the control knob.

A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Your Elite was manufactured within the affected period using this component and is to be inspected to ensure the cooktop is not within the recall population as identified by serial number. Remedy will be by replacement with newer cooktop, free of charge. The replacement unit will be sent with instructions to complete the installation and functional verification by a qualified RV technician. The replacement should take approximately one and one half hours to complete.

Dometic instructs DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE LP GAS WITHIN THE RV UNTIL THE COOKTOP HAS BEEN REMEDIED.

If you need to verify if your cooktop was affected by the Dometic's recall, just remove the galley drawer to verify the serial numbers. You can put your cellphone in hole and take a picture. Might need to have the flash turned on.

It appears we were missing a document of affected serial numbers that is attached along with an excel file of the remedy kit.

Special thanks to Steve Mabry for sharing the photos below.
