Details

What's wrong: Four nuts may have loosened from the four bolts that connect the liquid propane (lp) tank to the motor home. If the attachment hardware is loosened, the road vibration could produce undue stress on the weld joints of the brackets and they could break.

Why it matters: If this happens, the tank could fall off, resulting in a road hazard or a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the lp tank attachment and re-tightened the fasteners in addition to adding lock nuts. Owner notification began August 24, 2001.
