DEFECT #3 - 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.

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.
