The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES. THE HYDRAULIC HOSES WHICH OPERATE THE LEVELING JACK SYSTEM WERE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST OR NEAR A SHARP EDGE. THE HOT EXHAUST CAN CAUSE THE HOSE TO MELT, AND A SHARP EDGE COULD CUT THE HOSE, RELEASING HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Risk
HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKAGE CAN BE IGNITED BY THE ENGINE'S CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSE A FIRE.
