Problem: On certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers equipped with aero fuel tanks, fuel can leak from the fuel tank when the ambient temperature surrounding the fuel tank increases. In addition, when the ambient temperature surrounding the fuel tank increases, a potential pressure build-up in the fuel tank may arise as a result of the rollover valve utilized on the fuel tank not properly venting the pressure.
Risk: In the event that this pressure build-up occurs, fuel can spray out onto an individual who is opening the gas cap to the trailer.
Fix: Dealers will replace the existing rollover valve on the fuel tank. Owner notification began September 25, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Thor at 1-888-697-8467, ext. 215, or aero tank at 1-800-783-4826 (lynda).
