DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
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). This decal could affect the deployment of the air bag safety restraint built into the steering wheel.
Consequence
In the event of a vehicle crash in which the driver side air bag is deployed, the resulting functionality of the air bag is uncertain, which can increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Corrective Action
Owners will be instructed to remove the steering wheel decal. The recall began on may 30, 2006. Owners may contact home and park at 1-800-663-0066.

DEFECT #2 - EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE:LPG LINES AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 2005-11-18
Description
On certain class b motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with propane bbq connection. A rubber hose is connected to the propane regulator at one end and has a brass shutoff valve connector on the other free end. The clamp used for holding the brass bbq shutoff valve is not inserted properly into its holding clamp.
Consequence
Since the restraining clamp is missing, the hose can bounce up and down. As the vehicle is driven, the connector can fall to the ground dragging onto the pavement and could wear a hole through the hose. Propane can leak out creating the potential for a fire.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the bbq hose connector assembly, check for any wear, and replace units. The units will be restrained and clamps will be added to limit the length of the free end of the hose. The recall began on november 28, 2005. Owners may contact home and park at 888-762-3873.
