What this recall means for you
Certain VanLeigh Beacon and Vilano motorhomes may have a water heater housing that was not properly sealed. This can allow liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to enter the coach interior.
Gas inside the coach increases the risk of a fire. Owners should stop using the water heater and contact an authorized dealer if they suspect a gas odor or any problem with the LPG system.
The repair is free at an authorized VanLeigh dealer, who will install a grommet so the sleeve faces out and secure the sleeves to the gas line with zip-ties. Owners can also call VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040 and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
