This condition can result in leakage of lp gas, increasing the risk of fire.
Recalled Vehicles:
2000 Forest River 34ck-ts; 2000 Forest River 37rl-ts
Component: Fuel System, Other:delivery:hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
Manufactured by: Forest River, Inc.
Affected Units:: 115
Recall Summary:
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.
How to Fix:
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.
