What is wrong
Dexter Ventline and Door is recalling certain Ventline liquid propane gas (LP) Bottle Straps, part numbers C0538-19, C0538-12, and C0538-16. The LP bottle strap crimping may be insufficient, potentially causing the strap buckle to detach after the LP gas bottle has been removed.
What can happen
If the strap buckle detaches from the strap, preventing the LP tank from being properly retained after the tank is replaced, the unrestrained tank can fall from the trailer, potentially being a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
