Issue

Certain motorhomes may not have the proper clearance between the rear suspension leaf spring and the vehicle liquid propane (LP) fuel tank. As the suspension travels it is possible for the leaf spring shackle bolt to come in contact with the LP tank. This potentially could puncture the tank and result in a fire or explosion. In the event of a fire or explosion, there is a potential for property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect to see if the proper clearance between the shackle bolt and the LP tank exists. If it is found there is not enough clearance, the tank will be relocated outboard in the motorhome to provide the proper clearance.
