What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE IMPROPER ROUTING OF THE L.P. GAS PIPING BETWEEN THE L.P. GAS TANK AND THE FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE MIGHT CAUSE THE REAR AXLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO DAMAGE THE PIPING. THE PIPING MAY RUPTURE AND ALLOW THE L.P. GAS TO LEAK.

The remedy

DEALER WILL REMOVE THE EXISTING L.P. GAS LINES AND REROUTE THEM TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE DAMAGE AND WILL ALSO TEST FOR LEAKS AT NO COST TO OWNER.

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.
