What's wrong?
The high pressure LP hose is a fuel line in the motorhome's propane system. It carries liquid propane under pressure through the LPG lines and fittings so the coach's propane equipment can receive fuel without a leak. The hose depends on its crimp fitting staying flexible and sealed.
On affected 2012-2013 Winnebago Era, View, Via, Reyo, and Navion motorhomes, the hose can harden where it is crimped to the fitting. Once that area stiffens, the seal at the fitting no longer holds the way it should. Propane can leak from that connection. The recalled hose is 3/8 inch, and the replacement hose is 1/4 inch.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not rely on smell, sound, or a visible crack to decide whether the hose is safe.

What happens at the repair

If the hose is affected, the technician replaces it. Parts and labor are free under recall 18V532. The service desk can confirm that the inspected hose is the one covered for your 2012-2013 Winnebago motorhome before work begins.
