Certain refrigerators used in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) contain either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch to interrupt power when it detects high temperatures that could lead to a fire. An insufficient response time can result in the power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a thermocouple with a faster response time for all refrigerators with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch.
The LP tank mounting hardware on the frame rail extension may not rigidly support a full LP tank. The resulting vibration may cause the mounting hardware to become loose and eventually may cause the tank to fall off, which could result in bodily injury and/or property damage. Correction: A frame rail support assembly will be added to the underside of the vehicle to reinforce the frame rail extensions.
On certain vehicles, the generator fuel hose was not routed or clamped properly and can come in contact with the engine exhaust. This can cause the hose to deteriorate and allow gas to be released which could result in a fire. Correction. A new fuel hose will be installed which will be rerouted and clamped away from the exhaust.
On certain vehicles, the liquid propane (LP) gas supply hose located adjacent to the LP tank between the LP regulator and the iron pipe manifold can come into contact with the tank appurtenances guard causing the hose to wear through. This would allow LP gas to be released which could cause a fire. Correction: An elbow will be added to the manifold pipe which will redirect the hose around the guard.

Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The two certification/tire pressure labels, one located on the door panel beside the driver's seat and the other inside the front cover of the owner's manual, indicate an incorrect tire size. Correction: Labels will be replaced.
