Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The recalled grills could have an incorrect heat shield that does not fit the grills. Without the correct heat shield, the propane tank, hose, and regulator could overheat and damage these components, presenting a risk of fire and burn to consumers, if a propane leak occurs.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
