What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE GASOLINE FILLER NECK IS LOCATED LESS THAN 3 FEET FROM THE PROPANE WATER HEATER CREATING A FIRE HAZARD POTENTIAL DURING GASOLINE FUELING.

The risk

THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE IF GASOLINE VAPORS ARE IGNITED BY THE PROPANE WATER HEATER.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL MOVE THE GASOLINE FILLER SPOUT TO ANOTHER LOCATION ON THE MOTORHOME. TO REMIND OWNERS TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, A STICKER WILL BE MAILED TO THE OWNERS FOR PLACEMENT ON THE GASOLINE FILLER DOOR.

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.
