Remedy

Dealers will replace the quick disconnects, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2022. Owners may contact Escape Trailer’s customer service at 1-604-703-1650.

Escape Trailer Industries has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021-2022 Escape 17, 19, 21, and 5.0TA travel trailers equipped with an Enerco ¼” Quick Connect Propane Fitting.

We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition. Our commitment is to provide you with the highest level of service and support.

 

What is the issue?

Enerco’s affiliate, Flex-Tech, has been advised that certain propane female brass quick-disconnects may have a defect in the brass causing the female component to crack, which may result in a low pressure leak on the outside of the RV. The defect is due to porosity, contamination and carbon in the brass. These were installed on all Escape RV travel trailers from approximately July 2021-March 2022. The low pressure leak can increase the risk of a fire.

 

What will Escape do?

Escape Trailer Industries is contacting all affected customers to make them aware of this defect and providing customers with contact details for Enerco for them to request a replacement unit at no cost. This replacement will take approximately 0.3 hours.

 

What should you do?

You or your dealer must contact Flextech’s Customer Service department at 512-878-3731 or via email at Escaperecall@flextechhose.com. Flextech will coordinate with you to send a replacement Quick Disconnect. Flextech will then send the replacement component to you directly. From there, you can take the replacement component to a local repair shop for installation.
