The defect
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE WATER HEATER IS MOUNTED AT THE EXTREME REAR POSITION OF THE MOTORHOME. BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION, VIBRATIONS COULD CAUSE THE COPPER L.P. GAS LINE SUPPLYING THE WATER HEATER TO BREAK, ALLOWING L.P. GAS TO LEAK INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.
The remedy
DEALER WILL INSTALL A STEEL "U" BRACKET AND FOUR BOLTS TO REINFORCE THE WATER HEATER AND REDUCE VIBRATIONS, WITHOUT CHARGE.

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.
