The problem

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

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.
