Outfitter Manufacturing is recalling 78 truck campers from the 2021 and 2022 model years because the internal aluminum burner tubes in the cooktops can fracture. The affected vehicles include certain Caribou Lite (6.5, 8, and 8.5 models), Caribou 6.5, Apex 8, and Apex 8 LB campers equipped with Suburban SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops. If these tubes break, gas can leak into the camper, significantly increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Dealers will install a regulator support bracket to the cooktop assembly free of charge to prevent the tubes from fracturing.
The internal aluminum tubes connecting the gas valves can break, causing flammable gas to leak into the living area of the camper. If this gas comes into contact with an ignition source, it can cause a fire or explosion.
