ON CERTAIN CLASS B MOTOR HOMES, IF THE AXLE BOTTOMS OUT AGAINST THE RUBBER SUSPENSION SNUBBERS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE "U" BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SPRINGS TO THE REAR AXLE CAN PENETRATE THE STEEL TUBE AND COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE STEEL LIQUID PROPANE "LP" MANIFOLD.
THE TUBE MAY BE CRUSHED CAUSING A CRACK IN THE TUBE, AND LP GAS MAY LEAK CAUSING A FIRE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AND INSTALL IT INSIDE THE CHASSIS RAIL AWAY FROM THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ENTIRELY. DEALERS AND OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED NOT TO USE THE LP SYSTEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FOREST RIVER AT 1-574-389-4600.
CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
