Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2020 Unity travel trailers, model U24RL, because a locked utility compartment may prevent access to the liquid propane shutoff valve. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall on May 22, 2020.

What to do

Dealers will repair the utility compartment latch mechanism free of charge. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906.
