Capri has been informed by Suburban Manufacturing that their 2-burner cooktop, model #3031- AST with an auto starter switch has been recalled over safety concerns. This unit was only installed in six Capri Campers during 2022 and the 2-burner cooktop that is being recalled has an automatic starter.

If your Capri Camper has a 2-burner cooktop with an automatic started button, please contact Capri immediately for instructions on how & where to replace, free of charge, your defective cooktop. According to Suburban, the burner tube could crack resulting a leak of propane when the top burner gas valve is opened to use the appliance. If ignited the propane could result in a fire and/or explosion which could result in personal injury. Description of the Cause : The gas manifold at the control knobs can become loose over time due to excessive vibration. With excessive viration the the burner tubes can fail. Lab analysis of failed burner tubes indicate hardening of the aluminum burner tubes likely caused by repeated impact or the excessive vibration. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The owner could possibly hear a louder than normal hissing sound or smell propane odor when the cooktop gas valve is turned to the “on” position. The control knob of the cooktop could appear to be loose and become difficult to operate.
