What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES. THE HYDRAULIC HOSES WHICH OPERATE THE LEVELING JACK SYSTEM WERE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST OR NEAR A SHARP EDGE. THE HOT EXHAUST CAN CAUSE THE HOSE TO MELT, AND A SHARP EDGE COULD CUT THE HOSE, RELEASING HYDRAULIC FLUID.
What can happen
HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKAGE CAN BE IGNITED BY THE ENGINE'S CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSE A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LINES AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE AND REROUTE THE LINES.

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.
