What is wrong

On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with a decorative dash trim kit, the adhesive backed synthetic trim is attached to the dash, engine cover, door panel and the chevrolet "bow tie" decal is attached to the steering wheel (directly over the existing bow tie impression). This decal could affect the deployment of the air bag safety restraint built into the steering wheel.

Risk

In the event of a vehicle crash in which the driver side air bag is deployed, the resulting functionality of the air bag is uncertain, which can increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

Remedy

Owners will be instructed to remove the steering wheel decal. The recall began on may 30, 2006. Owners may contact home and park at 1‑800‑663‑0066.

Recall number 06V160000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain class b motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with propane bbq connection. A rubber hose is connected to the propane regulator at one end and has a brass shutoff valve connector on the other "free end." the clamp used for holding the brass bbq shutoff valve is not inserted properly into its holding clamp.

Risk

Since the restraining clamp is missing, the hose can bounce up and down. As the vehicle is driven, the connector can fall to the ground dragging onto the pavement and could wear a hole through the hose. Propane can leak out creating the potential for a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the bbq hose connector assembly, check for any wear, and replace units. The units will be restrained and clamps will be added to limit the length of the free end of the hose. The recall began on november 28, 2005. Owners may contact home and park at 888‑762‑3873.

What is wrong

Remedy

Recall number 04V466000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain motor homes built on chevrolet g-van chassis, the chassis fuel return line, which is tapped to supply fuel to the generator, has been found to have pressures that exceed the maximum allowed by the generator manufacturer. As a result, if the generator is operated at the same time the chassis engine is running, excess fuel could be delivered to the generator, creating a potential for a generator stall and possible fuel spill.

Risk

In the event of a fuel spill, a fire could occur.

Remedy

Dealers will install an approved kit that draws the generator fuel supply directly from the fuel tank. Owner notification is expected to begin during march or april 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact home & park at 1‑888‑762‑3873.
