Home & Park Motorhomes reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 9, 2005 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 381. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 05V533000.
