Filed Mar 3, 2000115 vehiclesForest River, Inc.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SLIDE-OUT ROOMS THAT HOUSE THE KITCHEN RANGE AND REFRIGERATOR. A LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS HOSE CONNECTS THE MAIN LP GAS MANIFOLD TO THE GAS FIRED APPLIANCES IN THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM. THE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE TO A TEE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT PUTS A ROTATIONAL STRESS ON THE CRIMPED CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FITTING THAT CONNECTS TO THE TEE AND THE HOSE ITSELF.

Risk. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF LP GAS, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A MANIFOLD THAT WILL GO INTO THE REFRIGERATOR ANCHORING THIS TO THE FLOOR, THEN ATTACHING A HOSE WITH A HIGH COMPRESSION END FITTING TO A BRASS FITTING. THE HOSE WILL THEN FLEX SIDE TO SIDE RATHER THAN ROTATIONALLY.

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.
