Campaign:

05V533000 on 11/17/2005

Component:

Equipment:recreational vehicle:lpg lines and fittings

Manufactured:

02/28/2005 - 10/30/2005

Affected:

381

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.

Consequence:

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.

Correction:

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.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Campaign:

06V160000 on 05/10/2006

Component:

Equipment:other:labels

Manufactured:

06/30/2003 - 04/29/2006

Affected:

736

Defect:

On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with a decorative dash trim kit, the adhesive backed synthetic trim is attached to the dash, engine cover, door panel and the chevrolet "bow tie" decal is attached to the steering wheel (directly over the existing bow tie impression). this decal could affect the deployment of the air bag safety restraint built into the steering wheel.

Consequence:

In the event of a vehicle crash in which the driver side air bag is deployed, the resulting functionality of the air bag is uncertain, which can increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

Correction:

Owners will be instructed to remove the steering wheel decal. the recall began on may 30, 2006. owners may contact home and park at 1-800-663-0066.
