I Came across this on a German forum https://poesslforum.de/ this morning - in case it affects any MH Fun members. I don't know if it has been published in English so I've taken a screenshot of the German page translated with Google Translate

It looks like a 'BBQ' type point ... I think!

Yip, looks like that. No concern to me, just raising awareness....

It probably won't apply to UK customers. They'll just let us gas ourselves or explode.

I've just received the Truma newsletter highlighting this problem.

It includes a link to which gives a full explanation.

Just checked our BBQ outlet and the date code means it is one of the affected ones.

Thank you @gerry mcg for bringing it to our attention and @GJH for the link.

Just had a letter from Truma as I presume they have been in contact with Swift who has informed them that our motorhome is one of the ones likely to be affected.

Truma have asked us to confirm we still have the motorhome (if not, who did we sell it to) and to confirm the date stamp on our outlet. I was impressed they had supplied a stamped addressed envelope to return the form, not every company would have been so thoughtful...

While we will need to take it to our local dealer, there is the option on the reply slip to request a 'safety blank' which fits on the outlet to cap it off in the meanwhile.

Had the safety blank arrive and now fitted. The red cap no longer fits but that is not the end of the world as there is a flap that covers the outlet.

Never used the outlet since we took delivery in September and noticed when fitting the blank that stuffed behind the outlet was a plastic bag with some screws. No idea what they are for but guess the person who fitted the gas point in the factory thought I needed them!

Before anyone makes a comment, since taking the photos I have cleaned the whole vehicle including the BBQ outlet....
