Huge Keystone RV recall for propane fire danger

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Dutchmen Aspen Trail, Coleman, Keystone Cougar, Bullet, Passport, Hideout, Springdale, Sprinter, 2019 Keystone Impact, Fuzion, Residence, Retreat, Summerland, and Dutchmen Kodiak recreational vehicles, equipped with Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulators.

The regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure. Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire. The potential number of units affected is 95,753.

Remedy
Dealers will replace the regulator and test the propane system for leaks, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 8, 2021. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone’s number for this recall is 21-414.

Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).

For something that could be deadly, why are they waiting a month to mail out notices? Just curious.

I know, I own a passport and recently was doing some work in it with the furnace on. I just got my notice yesterday. And the notice says that they don’t have the part available.!!!! Irresponsible!

I sold my house and I moved into my RV this is the third winter. There is gas leaking I’ve had to refill my tanks twice as often. I called the nearby local RV recreational store I bought it they will come out and replace the RV regulator but I have costs that I would have to pay which is crazy. I live in this camper I just put two new 30 lb tanks on Friday they’re gone after 5 days and not because I have heat in here it is averaging 55° with floor electrical base heaters running I went out this morning and all I smelled was gas I shut the one valve off I’ve made phone calls I’ve made inquiries I’ve complained someone please help this is my space for living

This company is not doing anything with the recall what do I have to do to get them to light a fire under their butt to come fix this. I retired with $490 a month. They want their service charges etc to come out and fix this problem. Initially I had taken out insurance on the camper when I bought it. There were a lot of lemons that were in this starcraft RV. Including refrigeration paneling countertop bathroom toiletry the list goes on they came to summers ago and fixed most of the problems which was a very big inconvenience which when I paid $25,000 for this there should have not been this problem this is ridiculous this is my means of well-being for my life.

Every morning for the last 3 months I have waking up to 48° because I turn the heat down. My nose is cold my toes are cold and it’s not a matter of having enough LP. I run five 30 lb LP tanks that previously lasted a very long time. Now they are only lasting a much shorter time. I just put on two 30-pounders on Friday and today’s Thursday and they were gone I woke up to 42° this morning. Yes it’s colder this winter but it’s not like I’m running 75° in here and I also run two baseboard heaters and they are at a temperature of 60° and they can’t keep up this is wrong I am losing gas I go out on all I do is smell gas so am I going to not wake up one morning and just blow up into the world because there’s a recall and they’re not fixing it. The recall is to replace leaking LP structural.
