Equipment #15V234000 · 2015 · 46 units
Problem: Cruiser rv (cruiser) is recalling certain model year 2015 viewfinder recreational trailers manufactured september 4, 2014, to march 30, 2015. in the affected vehicles, the liquid propane (lp) compartment in the slide room is not properly sealed to the interior of the trailer. if a leak occurs in the lp compartment, propane gas could dissipate into the interior of the trailer.
Risk: A propane gas leak into the interior of the trailer increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
Fix: Cruiser will notify owners, and dealers will modify the recreational trailer so that the lp compartment is sealed from the passenger area, free of charge. the recall began on may 14, 2015. owners may contact cruiser customer service at 1-866-277-5630. cruiser's number for this recall is 11041r.
