OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
05V547000
Equipment:recreational Vehicle/trailer:lpg Systems:lines And Fittings
Reported Nov 29, 2005 · FOREST RIVER, INC.
Summary
ON CERTAIN CLASS B MOTOR HOMES, IF THE AXLE BOTTOMS OUT AGAINST THE RUBBER SUSPENSION SNUBBERS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE "U" BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SPRINGS TO THE REAR AXLE CAN PENETRATE THE STEEL TUBE AND COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE STEEL LIQUID PROPANE (LP) MANIFOLD.
Consequence
THE TUBE MAY BE CRUSHED CAUSING A CRACK IN THE TUBE, AND LP GAS MAY LEAK CAUSING A FIRE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AND INSTALL IT INSIDE THE CHASSIS RAIL AWAY FROM THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ENTIRELY. DEALERS AND OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED NOT TO USE THE LP SYSTEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FOREST RIVER AT 1-574-389-4600.
