Although my unit (2021 Forest River Heritage Glenn 338BAR) is not on the recall list I did notice that I had this problem and had it fixed under warranty.

I've read that initial article from Ron (referenced in the Youtube video).  Yes, this is serious, however... He wrongly states that all 22,000 RVs have cracked/leaking fittings.  In fact, he states that twice, in both the first and second paragraphs.  Finally, in the 4th paragraph, he admits that these fittings "could" crack when owners torque them down.  If they were all cracked/leaking, then the recall would already be under way.  Not to downplay the seriousness, but over stating the danger is usually counter productive.  The NHTSA is aware and is following the proper protocols; there is no reason to panic.

If this issue was as serious as the lawyer on YouTube insists, they would be telling owners of affected RVs not to use their propane systems. Spreading FUD about RV manufacturers is good for his business.

I'm on the NHTSA recalls mailing list, and get notices almost daily of various vehicle related recalls. RV's of various makes and models have been on the lists numerous times over the past several weeks for the cracked QD issue.
