What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: motor homes (models wkp36l, wkp36ld, and ikp36ld). Four nuts may have loosened from the four bolts that connect the liquid propane (lp) tank to the motor home. If the attachment hardware is loosened, the road vibration could produce undue stress on the weld joints of the brackets and they could break.

Possible consequence

If this happens, the tank could fall off, resulting in a road hazard or a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the lp tank attachment and re-tightened the fasteners in addition to adding lock nuts. Owner notification began august 24, 2001. 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 winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
