- What is wrong
- On certain class c mini-motor homes, the generator exhaust pipe may have been assembled and installed incorrectly resulting in insufficient clearance to or contact with the chassis fuel fill tube.
- Risk
- When operating, the generator's exhaust pipe may reach temperatures that could potentially melt and/or ignite the fuel fill tube. Should this occur, the potential exists for a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will disassemble a portion of the generator exhaust pipe assembly, turning one of the bent components around 180 degrees, reassembling the exhaust pipe and measuring to ensure a minimum of 3" air gap with surrounding components.
