On certain motorhomes equipped with a Dometic Corporation refrigerator, a fatigue crack can develop in the boiler tube. This could allow the release of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present, which could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install a secondary burner housing.
On certain motorhomes equipped with Workhorse Custom Chassis, the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip may fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper comes loose, a fuel leak may result in the underhood area which may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip.
On certain motorhomes, hydraulic lines for the levelling jack system may be improperly secured or routed too close to a drivetrain heat source. This may cause melting of the line resulting in leakage of hydraulic fluid, which could cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, secure hydraulic lines.
