NHTSA Campaign 79V160000

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK ASSEMBLY

Issued by COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC. · Reported Jul 2, 1979 · 573 vehicles affected

What's wrong

THE NUTS AND LOCKWASHERS USED TO SECURE THE LP GAS TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SECURELY TIGHTENED DUE TO THE USE OF INCORRECT LOCKWASHERS. IF THE NUTS LOOSEN AND FALL FROM THE BOLTS, THE L.P. GAS TANK COULD SEPARATE COMPLETELY FROM THE VEHICLE AND BECOME DAMAGED, ALLOWING THE LP GAS TO ESCAPE.

Remedy

ALL LOOSE NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED AND ANY INCORRECT LOCKWASHERS WILL BE REPLACED. DEALER WILL ALSO ADD FLAT WASHERS AND LOCKING TYPE NUTS TO ALL UNITS.
