Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 5TH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH KITCHEN SLIDE-OUTS. THE PLUMBING THAT SUPPLIES LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS TO THE REFRIGERATOR CONSISTS OF A FLEXIBLE LP HOSE CONNECTED TO A COPPER FITTING THAT CONNECTS TO A COPPER TUBE THAT THEN RUNS TO THE REFRIGERATOR. THE COPPER FITTING IS FASTENED TO THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM WALL WITH CLAMPS TO PROHIBIT MOVEMENT OF THE COPPER LINE AND INSURE THAT AS THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM IS EXTENDED AND RETRACTED, THE FLEXIBLE GAS LINE MOVES AND NOT THE COPPER LINE. THE CLAMPS INTENDED TO HOLE THE COPPER LINE IN PLACE HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED CAUSING THE COPPER GAS LINE TO FLEX WITH SLIDE-OUT ROOM MOVEMENT.

Risk. THE COPPER LINE COULD CRACK ALLOWING LP GAS TO LEAK, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CURRENT FITTING WITH A "DROP EAR" FITTING FOR DIRECT ATTACHMENT TO THE SLIDE-OUT SIDEWALL, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR THE CLAMPS.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
