Recall 03V-100: 2003 Home And Park Roadtrek 190
HOME & PARK MOTORHOMES recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Mar 17, 2003, covering about 125 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet g-van chassis, the chassis fuel return line, which is tapped to supply fuel to the generator, has been found to have pressures that exceed the maximum allowed by the generator manufacturer. As a result, if the generator is operated at the same time the chassis engine is running, excess fuel could be delivered to the generator, creating a potential for a generator stall and possible fuel spill.
The risk
In the event of a fuel spill, a fire could occur.
The fix
Dealers will install an approved kit that draws the generator fuel supply directly from the fuel tank. Owner notification is expected to begin during march or april 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact home & park at 1-888-762-3873.
