The problem
Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Unity recreational vehicles, models U24TB and U24IB, manufactured March 1, 2016, to June 9, 2016. The Truma propane water heater line on the affected vehicles may be damaged from items moving within the lower storage compartment, causing the line to rupture and allow propane gas to leak out.
The risk
A propane gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
