Defect. ON CERTAIN CLASS B MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHEVROLET CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH PROPANE BBQ CONNECTION. A RUBBER HOSE IS CONNECTED TO THE PROPANE REGULATOR AT ONE END AND HAS A BRASS SHUTOFF VALVE CONNECTOR ON THE OTHER "FREE END." THE CLAMP USED FOR HOLDING THE BRASS BBQ SHUTOFF VALVE IS NOT INSERTED PROPERLY INTO ITS HOLDING CLAMP.

Risk. SINCE THE RESTRAINING CLAMP IS MISSING, THE HOSE CAN BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE CONNECTOR CAN FALL TO THE GROUND DRAGGING ONTO THE PAVEMENT AND COULD WEAR A HOLE THROUGH THE HOSE. PROPANE CAN LEAK OUT CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BBQ HOSE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY, CHECK FOR ANY WEAR, AND REPLACE UNITS. THE UNITS WILL BE RESTRAINED AND CLAMPS WILL BE ADDED TO LIMIT THE LENGTH OF THE FREE END OF THE HOSE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HOME AND PARK AT 888-762-3873.

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.
