What is wrong
THE NUTS AND LOCKWASHERS USED TO SECURE THE LP GAS TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SECURELY TIGHTENED DUE TO THE USE OF INCORRECT LOCKWASHERS. IF THE NUTS LOOSEN AND FALL FROM THE BOLTS, THE L.P. GAS TANK COULD SEPARATE COMPLETELY FROM THE VEHICLE AND BECOME DAMAGED, ALLOWING THE LP GAS TO ESCAPE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ALL LOOSE NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED AND ANY INCORRECT LOCKWASHERS WILL BE REPLACED. DEALER WILL ALSO ADD FLAT WASHERS AND LOCKING TYPE NUTS TO ALL UNITS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
