The problem
Vehicle description: motor homes. A liquid propane (lp) hose was installed in the range burner box. The elevated temperature the hose is exposed to inside this box can prematurely age the hose causing a possible lp leak.
The risk
Lp gas leakage could ignite and result in bodily injury and/or property damage.
The fix
Dealers will relocate the flexible hose outside of the range box.
