What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE FUEL LINES ON THE CHASSIS COULD CHAFE AGAINST THE STEEL FLOOR STRUCTURE, CAUSING THE FUEL LINE TO RUPTURE.

The risk

FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAIDED FUEL SUPPLY LINE TO DETERMINE IF THE FUEL LINE HAS BECOME EXCESSIVELY WORN OR CHAFFED. IF THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LINE, THE DEALER WILL SECURE THE FUEL LINE TO THE MAIN WIRING LOOM. IF DAMAGE IS DISCOVERED, THE FUEL LINE WILL BE REPLACED AND PROPERLY ANCHORED.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
