Vehicle recall 98V013000 · January 21, 1998

1998 Aero Aerolite

Vehicle description: travel trailers.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
Vehicle description: travel trailers. The simultaneous use of the microwave oven and the cooktop produces negative pressure that causes the flames on the cooktop to reverse. This could result in damage to the burner head, possibly resulting in extinguishing the flame. If the flame is extinguished, liquid propane (lp) gas could leak into the trailer.
Consequence
The presence of lp gas in the trailer could result in asphyxiation of persons present in the trailer or possibly an explosion in the event that the lp gas is ignited by a spark.
Remedy
Dealers will install a drop-in burner box kit which will eliminate the negative pressure when the microwave oven and the cooktop are used simultaneously.
Notes
Owner notification began February 15, 1998. Owners who take their travel trailer to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact aero manufacturing at 1-219-457-8787.ALSO contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Aero been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Aero dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
