What is wrong
THE L.P. GAS HOSE MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SPRING HANGER ON THE CHASSIS SUSPENSION SYSTEM OR THE SHIELD BETWEEN THE L.P. TANK AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS COULD CAUSE RUPTURE OF THE L.P. GAS HOSE AND ALLOW RAW PROPANE TO ESCAPE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE EXISTING HOSE. ALSO, THE DEALER WILL SECURE THE HOSE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR SO THAT IT IS ROUTED AROUND AND AWAY FROM THE SHARP EDGES.

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.
