What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

INCORRECT LP GAS HOSES WERE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE LPG TANK AND THE LPG PRESSURE REGULATORS. THESE HOSES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR USE AT THE PRESSURE AT WHICH THEY ARE OPERATING AND MAY RUPTURE.

The risk

IF THE LPG HOSE RUPTURES, PROPANE WOULD BE EXPELLED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE CREATING A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHICH COULD SERIOUSLY BURN OR KILL PERSONS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

The remedy

CORRECT HOSES WILL BE FURNISHED TO OWNERS FOR INSTALLATION BY DOLPHIN DEALERS, ANY QUALIFIED REPAIR SHOP, OR A LPG INSTALLER.

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.
