What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE HYDRAULIC LINES FOR THE BEDROOM SLIDEOUT MAY BE ROUTED ADJACENT TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST COULD DEGRADE THE HOSE TO THE POINT A LEAK COULD DEVELOP.
What can happen
IF A LEAK WERE TO OCCUR, HYDRAULIC FLUID COULD SPRAY ON TO HOT EXHAUST OR ENGINE COMPONENTS AND COULD IGNITE RESULTING IN A FIRE.

Recall repairs are free of charge.

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.
