The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON A ROADMASTER CHASSIS. INADEQUATE BRACING WAS USED TO SECURE THE FUEL TANK. THE BRACE COULD FAIL ALLOWING ONE END OF THE FUEL TANK TO LOOSEN FROM ITS POSITION AND HANG LOWER THAN THE OTHER END.
Risk
THE FUEL TANK COULD EVENTUALLY SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE AND DROP TO THE GROUND, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR A VEHICLE CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL BRACE UNDER THE FUEL TANK.
