The problem
On certain motorhomes, the chassis leaf spring rear shackle and/or shackle bolt could come in direct contact with the lp tank when the vehicle is in motion.
The risk
This could cause the lp tank to become damaged and potentially leak increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will move the mounting location of the tank out of the chassis rails, away from the chassis leaf spring rear shackle. Owner notification began on april 12, 2004. Owners should contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.
