What's wrong?
The fuel line extension on 2025-2026 Forest River Leprechaun, Sunseeker, Solera, Freelander, Forester, and Entrada motorhomes is part of the gasoline delivery system. It carries fuel across the stretched chassis so the engine gets a steady supply, and the connector crimp is supposed to hold that line tightly in place.
On affected motorhomes, the crimp on the fuel line extension connector was inconsistent. That means the connector was not secured with the same force every time. A weak crimp can let the fuel line detach from the extension, which stops the line from staying sealed and connected. Forest River traced the issue to a vendor component, and the replacement fuel line extension uses the proper crimp.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a light, sound, smell, or driveability change before the fuel line separates.
