Got my letter in the mail yesterday as well. Mine is a early build (8-18) 2019 model. Hopefully my dealer can somehow clear the recall on GD's records since no fix is necessary due to conversion to residential fridge. The gas line is plugged and secured out of the way behind the fridge.

We received our recall letter in the batch of mail from Escapee's mailbox. Since we are fulltime and on the road nowhere near our original dealer, it will have to wait. Finding and using a GD dealer service near where we are, I can imagine what their response would be. I'll just keep checking the propane hoses as I usually do on a quarterly basis.

I have simply shut my propane off for the time being, and have not really had time to look at the situation.
To help me understand, is this re-dressing the propane lines to protect them from heat created by running the fridge in gas mode? What exactly are we making sure the lines are spaced away and heat shielded from?2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW

Steve and Tami - possibly one of the GDRV mobile service teams will be close to your location in the coming weeks and can address this for you. Maybe a call to GDRV Customer Service to have a conversation about this to explore it as a possible option may work out. If it is an option, other full timers and folks on the road may be able to consider this as well.
If you decide to pursue this, please share the results if you would be so kind.

I would say yes. My understanding is that on some models of the Solitude, the rubber propane hose is routed too close to the burner tube of the absorption fridge. Heat from the burner tube can cause damage to the hose. So they reroute the hose a little, add additional hose clamps and insulate the hose to protect it. Obviously the burner tube is not in use if running the fridge in electric mode.
From the recall letter, "the rubber LP gas supply line which passes through the refrigerator compartment may come in contact with the refrigerator cooling unit burner tube on certain absorption refrigerators. If this were to occur, the heat from the refrigerator burner tube could cause damage to the LP gas line and result in a potential LP gas leak and subsequent fire."Last edited by Steven@147; 10-14-2020 at 08:13 AM.

Did a check on mine, all good. However, I found another problem waiting to happen during inspection. I happened to look up the back flue stack and noticed an electrical wire about half way up between the lower and upper vents that was not fastened. It was laying against one of the tubes getting slowly burned through. When you do your inspection make sure you take a look up your fridge backside and make sure there aren't any loose wires touching where they not suppose to.

What a pain! We had to hitch up and then drive an hour to the dealer through rush hour traffic for our scheduled appointment. As it turns out the FIRST appointment is take a picture of it to send to GD to get authorization to do the work. Then had to drive home. A week later was notified the parts came in and had to schedule SECOND appointment. Again a week later drove the hour through rush hour traffic and the fix was quick enough that they didn't even move the rig from the their driveway and I was back out on the road in 15 minutes.
I was perplexed why they couldn't have at least one of each repair kit on site then you bring the rig in they take the picture and get authorization to do the work right then. If I had known I would have asked the dealer if they could have sent their mobile truck to my house to take the picture or at least tell me the picture you need and I will take it. Got it done but a total of almost 4 hours of drive time plus time off work to get there in time for the last appointment of the day TWICE.
The right stuff
