Details

What's wrong: Certain vehicles manufactured with liquid propane (lp) generators may have the lp supply line connected incorrectly to the generator.

Why it matters: If the lp supply line is connected incorrectly, the generator may vent liquid propane into the generator compartment. In the presence of an ignition source, the vented propane can result in an explosion.

The fix: Heartland will notify owners and dealers will inspect and correct the lp supply line fitting as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 10, 2012.
