The problem

The lp gas distribution system where the lp line passes over the rear suspension leaf spring does not have enough clearance and could allow contact between the lp line and the leaf spring. This could lead to failure of the copper tubing. Owners are advised to close off the valve to the lp gas and not use the system. Consequence of defect: there may be leakage of lp gas which can result in serious personal injury or death from asphyxiation or explosion.

The fix

REROUTE THE LP GAS PIPE UNDER THE LEAF SPRING.

Contacts

Vehicle description: motorhomes (class c) built on chevrolet, gmc and ford chassis with lpg system. System: lp gas.
