Description 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.
Consequences 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.
Corrective action 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.
