- 05/31/1986 - 05/31/1987
- Affected:
- 186
- Defect:
- Routing of air supply lines close to the exhaust manifold pipe subject the lines to deformation and possible rupture from the radiant heat of the pipe.
- Consequence:
- Rupture of air pressure lines could cause low airpressure and park brake warning lights to come on; it will automatically applypark/emergency brake and deflate front suspension air bags.
- Correction:
- Replace damaged air lines and install a protective heat shield or reposition air lines away from exhaust pipe.

- Affected:
- 203
- Defect:
- Routing of the headlight and clearance light circuits through a single 20 amp fuse and/or breaker which is not adquate for the load created by both circuits.
- Consequence:
- This overload condition could cause loss of headlightswhile driving at night. this would occur without warning and could result in avehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Installation of an additional 20 amp breaker and route headlamp circuit only through that breaker.

- Electrical system:battery:cables
- Manufactured:
- 10/31/1986 - 07/31/1987
- Affected:
- 1,244
- Defect:
- Under heavy demand on the engine and transmission, the transmission cooler line temperature can exceed the temperature rating of both the plastic conduit and insulation for the battery cable.
- Consequence:
- A direct short could occur between the unprotectedbattery cable wire and metal transmission cooler line creating the possibilityof an engine compartment fire.
- Correction:
- Remove the battery cable from the transmission line and refasten it to another secure location.
- Notes:
- System: battery cablevehicle description: class a motorhomes built on chevrolet p 30 chassis.

- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1984 - 11/30/1987
- Affected:
- 112
- Defect:
- Leak in lp gas service line caused by line contacting rear suspension system which results in line rupture.
- Consequence:
- A ruptured line would release lp gas to the atmospherecreating the possibility of an explosion and/or fire and potential personalinjury to any occupant or person in close proximity of the motorhome.
- Correction:
- The lp gas service line will be relocated to preclude contact with the rear suspension system.
- Notes:
- System: fuel/lp gas.vehicle description: motorhomes model aluma lite and monitor class a equippedwith mor/ryde suspension system.
- Campaign:
- 90V186000 on 10/25/1990

- Suspension:front:springs:coil springs
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1987 - 11/30/1989
- Affected:
- 336
- Defect:
- The suspension coil spring box mounting brackets, which are fastened to the main chassis frame, may fail.
- Consequence:
- Bracket failure allows the coil spring box to move and,consequently, damage the rear brake lines affecting brake performance.
- Correction:
- Repair to prevent mounting bracket failure.
- Notes:
- System: suspension coil mounting brackets.vehicle description: 36 and 37 foot class a motorhomes built on a gilligchassis with mor-ryde suspension.
- Campaign:
- 92V183000 on 12/29/1992
- Component:
- Seats
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1986 - 06/30/1992
- Affected:
- 10,350
- Defect:
- The driver and passenger front outboard occupant seat have been designed with the safety belt anchorage on the seat structure. it is possible, in a vehicle crash, that the seat structure would fail to withstand the forces within the limits set forth in fmvss 207 and fmvss 210.
- Consequence:
- The seating and safety belt systems fail to comply withthe safety standards of fmvss 207 and 210, and could increase the risk of injuryto occupants in the event of a crash or sudden stop.
- Correction:
- Relocate the seat belt anchorage assemblies from the seat pedestal assembly to the vehicle frame through the floor structure to reduce the load on the seat pedestal assembly in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
- Notes:
- System: seating system, fmvss 207; and safety belt anchorages, fmvss 210.vehicle descriptions: mobile homes.
