The problem
On certain motor homes, the fuel lines on the chassis could chafe against the steel floor structure, causing the fuel line to rupture.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the braided fuel supply line to determine if the fuel line has become excessively worn or chaffed. If there is no visible damage to the fuel line, the dealer will secure the fuel line to the main wiring loom. If damage is discovered, the fuel line will be replaced and properly anchored.
