NHTSA recall 00V060000 · Mar 3, 2000 · 115 vehicles
Problem: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SLIDE-OUT ROOMS THAT HOUSE THE KITCHEN RANGE AND REFRIGERATOR. A LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS HOSE CONNECTS THE MAIN LP GAS MANIFOLD TO THE GAS FIRED APPLIANCES IN THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM. THE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE TO A TEE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT PUTS A ROTATIONAL STRESS ON THE CRIMPED CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FITTING THAT CONNECTS TO THE TEE AND THE HOSE ITSELF.
Risk: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF LP GAS, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A MANIFOLD THAT WILL GO INTO THE REFRIGERATOR ANCHORING THIS TO THE FLOOR, THEN ATTACHING A HOSE WITH A HIGH COMPRESSION END FITTING TO A BRASS FITTING. THE HOSE WILL THEN FLEX SIDE TO SIDE RATHER THAN ROTATIONALLY.
Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. A recall listed here may already have been fixed on a particular car: enter its 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls.
