Summary

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE BLACK PIPE SUPPLYING LIQUID PROPANE "LP" GAS TO THE FURNACE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE COPPER LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS PIPE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE END OF THE LEAF SPRING OF THE SUSPENSION.

Consequence

IF THIS HAPPENS, THE COPPER LINE MAY GET DAMAGED AND OVER TIME, A LEAK COULD DEVELOP WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IGNITE, RESULTING IN BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BLACK PIPE AND REPLACE THE LP LINE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 10, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-641-585-6939.
