Defect. Columbia Northwest, Inc. (Columbia Northwest) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Aliner Ascape trailers. The trailers have liquid propane (LP) gas bottle trays that come loose from the frames due to the wrong rivets being used to attach the LP tray to the frame.

Risk. The LP gas bottles may fall from the trailer during travel, increasing the risk of a crash or a fire.

Remedy. Columbia Northwest will notify owners, and dealers will secure the trays with the correct hardware, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2017. Owners may contact Columbia Northwest customer service at 1-724-237-5227.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
