Issue:
On certain travel trailers equipped with a Dometic propane gas stove, there could be an odour of propane gas after a short period of use. If a user attempts to tighten the bolt for the stove's valve in order to stop the smell, they could over-tighten the bolt and cause damage to a seal. This can result in a constant gas leak.Safety Risk:
A propane gas leak could create the risk of a fire or explosion.Corrective Action:
Grand Design RV will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to replace the defective hardware and perform a leak test. If you smell propane gas inside your travel trailer, you should evacuate and turn off the gas supply immediately.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Grand Design Transcend, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Grand Design: 50 in the register, and 536 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2020.
