SHOULD THESE SCREWS FAIL, THE LP BOTTLES COULD COME LOOSE, DISENGAGE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WERE TO OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE LP TANK OR LINES COULD BE DAMAGED AND POTENTIALLY LEAK LP GAS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE LP BOTTLE TRAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.
