Posted on: 2006-05-11
Description
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with a decorative dash trim kit, the adhesive backed synthetic trim is attached to the dash, engine cover, door panel and the chevrolet bow tie decal is attached to the steering wheel (directly over the existing bow tie impression).

DEFECT #3 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 2003-03-21
Description
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet g-van chassis, the chassis fuel return line, which is tapped to supply fuel to the generator, has been found to have pressures that exceed the maximum allowed by the generator manufacturer. As a result, if the generator is operated at the same time the chassis engine is running, excess fuel could be delivered to the generator, creating a potential for a generator stall and possible fuel spill.
Consequence
In the event of a fuel spill, a fire could occur.
Corrective Action
Dealers will install an approved kit that draws the generator fuel supply directly from the fuel tank. Owner notification is expected to begin during march or april 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact home & park at 1-888-762-3873.
