Summary

ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE SELF TAPING SCREWS THAT ARE USED TO SECURE THE LIQUID PROPANE "LP" BOTTLE SUPPORT TRAY TO THE TRAILER FRAME MAY FAIL. THE SUPPORT TRAY IS MOUNTED TO THE A-FRAME OF THE TRAILER AND HOLDS THE LP BOTTLES SECURELY IN PLACE.

Consequence

SHOULD THESE SCREWS FAIL, THE LP BOTTLES COULD COME LOOSE, DISENGAGE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WERE TO OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE LP TANK OR LINES COULD BE DAMAGED AND POTENTIALLY LEAK LP GAS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE LP BOTTLE TRAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.
