What can happen

Safety consequence

THE L.P. GAS HOSE MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SPRING HANGER ON THE CHASSIS SUSPENSION SYSTEM OR THE SHIELD BETWEEN THE L.P. TANK AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS COULD CAUSE RUPTURE OF THE L.P. GAS HOSE AND ALLOW RAW PROPANE TO ESCAPE.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE EXISTING HOSE. ALSO, THE DEALER WILL SECURE THE HOSE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR SO THAT IT IS ROUTED AROUND AND AWAY FROM THE SHARP EDGES.
