What the defect is
Outdoors RV Manufacturing (Outdoors) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Glacier Peak and Timber Ridge trailers, 2016 Wind River and Black Stone trailers. The affected vehicles may have inadequately secured liquid propane (LP) hoses and electrical wires allowing them to be pinched or scraped during movement of the kitchen slide-out room.
What could happen
If the wires or lines get pinched or scraped, the wires may short or the LP lines may leak. Either condition increases the risk of a fire.
What gets fixed
Outdoors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the LP line and electrical wires, securing them as necessary. Any damaged wires or hoses will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2015.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 6 November 2015.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
