Insufficient LP Bottle Strap Crimping

Recalled: June 20, 2018 ~2,447 units affected 18E040

Description

Dexter Ventline and Door is recalling certain Ventline liquid propane gas (LP) Bottle Straps, part numbers C0538-19, C0538-12, and C0538-16. The LP bottle strap crimping may be insufficient, potentially causing the strap buckle to detach after the LP gas bottle has been removed.

Injuries / Consequence

If the strap buckle detaches from the strap, preventing the LP tank from being properly retained after the tank is replaced, the unrestrained tank can fall from the trailer, potentially being a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dexter Ventline and Door has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers and those companies are conducting recalls and notifying owners. Dealers for the companies will replace the LP bottle straps, free of charge. Owners may contact Dexter Ventline and Door customer service at 1-800-400-2164.
