- The problem
- On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with liquid propane gas (lpg), it was discovered an excess of lpg hose was coiled in the rear refrigerator access compartment a causing it to be routed close in proximity to the burner flue box cover of the refrigerator.
- The risk
- This could potentially cause thermal damage to the lpg line and produce a leak of lpg in the access compartment that could result in an explosion or fire.
- The fix
- Owners are being asked to inspect the lpg line from the outside of the vehicle to ensure that it is not close to the burner. If no damage to the line is present and the lpg line is the appropriate length and routed correctly, the cover will be reinstalled and no further action will be taken. If an excess of hose is causing contact or close proximity to the burner cover, owners should shut off the supply of gas at the lpg tanks and contact monaco immediately. The recall began december 8, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
