2000 Forest River 34CK-TS & 2000 Forest River 37RL-TS recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: fifth wheel trailers equipped with slide-out rooms that house the kitchen range and refrigerator. A liquid propane (lp) gas hose connects the main lp gas manifold to the gas fired appliances in the slide-out room. The connection of the hose to a tee in the refrigerator compartment puts a rotational stress on the crimped connection between the fitting that connects to the tee and the hose itself.
💥 The risk
This condition CAN result in leakage of lp gas, increasing the risk of fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a manifold that will go into the refrigerator anchoring this to the floor, then attaching a hose with a high compression end fitting to a brass fitting. The hose will then flex side to side rather than rotationally.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
