    I have not gotten the letter either. I'm stopping by my dealer in Seguin on the way back from Sam Houston forest camping next week and getting mine state inspected. I plan to ask if they can clear the recall on mine so it's not on record as not repaired. There is nothing to repair since that propane line was plugged and secured out of the way went the residential fridge was done.

    I called my dealer this morning. They had no knowledge of this recall. Just so happens we're leaving on a trip tomorrow morning and will be passing right by the dealership. I knew it was a longshot, but I asked if I could stop by and have them take a look since we'll be right there. Nope, service is backed up for a long time. I asked for some leeway since I purchased the trailer there and it's a safety recall. Again, nope.

    Received recall letter in the mail yesterday. Something to get done after I winterize in a few months. Fortunately, I rarely use propane and will just shut it off in the interim.

    Well that's a 310 and a 379. Based on my interpretation of the issue, and reading what my wife showed me off FB, our solitude may not be apart of the recall because of the way the propane hose is routed to our absorption fridge. Our VIN may or may not fall within the range of the recall, the VINs are non-sequential. We shall see. Its up on the GDRV web site.

    I regularly check our propane lines for scuffing and leaks anyway since we had our main regulator start leaking. Not something you want to fool around with, a propane leak.

    This is our 3350RL. To the left of the "T" is the fridge, to the right is the stove cook top

    got my letter yesterday and made an appointment for the recall. Have to wait until 10/17 but we are not intending to use it any time soon anyway.

    Here's what's going on inside of mine. No evidence of any damage to the rubber line however more concerning is how the line is rubbing on the cut edge of that aluminum extrusion. I filed/rounded the edges of that aluminum part down and put a couple pieces of Gorilla Tape on there to prevent the metal from rubbing on the rubber hose.

    Our compartment on 2021 380FL looks exactly the same. Got my recall letter today. I think this is “an abundance of caution” recall but your concern about the abrasion on that aluminum stock is a real concern. I’ll probably add at least another P strap or standoff to minimize that concern also.

    This is what mine looks like before and after. This is my own work, I don't recommend doing this yourself.

    Nice!

    Since I live some distance from a GDRV dealer, Grand Design communicated to me that because this is a Safety Recall they cannot authorize owners to effect repairs themselves. Must be inspected and repaired by RVIA certified Tech. I can use a local center or mobile service with a certified tech. GDRV will send them a repair kit and cover labor, but as mentioned in many other threads here - I would have to cover the cost of a service call if I use a mobile tech.

    What’s that line that goes vertical for? I only have one line going past the fridge- presumably for the stove.
