CROSSROADS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 ELEVATION RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 7, 2011, THROUGH FEBRUARY 22, 2012.
THE ONBOARD, AUXILIARY FUEL STORAGE TANK IS INSTALLED TOO HIGH, WHICH DOES NOT PERMIT THE TANK TO BE FILLED PROPERLY.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
