The problem

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE BLACK PIPE SUPPLYING LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS TO THE FURNACE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE COPPER LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS PIPE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE END OF THE LEAF SPRING OF THE SUSPENSION.

The risk

IF THIS HAPPENS, THE COPPER LINE MAY GET DAMAGED AND OVER TIME, A LEAK COULD DEVELOP WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IGNITE, RESULTING IN BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

What to do
