Defect. INCORRECT LP GAS HOSES WERE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE LPG TANK AND THE LPG PRESSURE REGULATORS. THESE HOSES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR USE AT THE PRESSURE AT WHICH THEY ARE OPERATING AND MAY RUPTURE.

Risk. IF THE LPG HOSE RUPTURES, PROPANE WOULD BE EXPELLED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE CREATING A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHICH COULD SERIOUSLY BURN OR KILL PERSONS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

Remedy. CORRECT HOSES WILL BE FURNISHED TO OWNERS FOR INSTALLATION BY DOLPHIN DEALERS, ANY QUALIFIED REPAIR SHOP, OR A LPG INSTALLER.

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.
