2000 FOREST RIVER 37RL-TS Recall

Campaign:

00V060000 on 03/09/2000

Component:

Fuel system, other:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Manufactured:

10/31/1999 - 02/20/2000

Affected:

115

Defect:

Vehicle description: fifth wheel trailers equipped with slide-out rooms that house the kitchen range and refrigerator. a liquid propane (lp) gas hose connects the main lp gas manifold to the gas fired appliances in the slide-out room. the connection of the hose to a tee in the refrigerator compartment puts a rotational stress on the crimped connection between the fitting that connects to the tee and the hose itself.

Consequence:

This condition can result in leakage of lp gas, increasing the risk of fire.

Correction:

Dealers will install a manifold that will go into the refrigerator anchoring this to the floor, then attaching a hose with a high compression end fitting to a brass fitting. the hose will then flex side to side rather than rotationally.
