SEOCONTENT-START

LP Quick Connect Recall: Self check 1. Check if your VIN is in scope: • 7RVTV1228NA000010 to 7RVTV1220NA000062 • 7RVTV1221NA000085 to 7RVTV1227NA000110 • 7RVTV1207NA000591 to 7RVTV1207NA000638 2. If your VIN is in scope, that does not necessarily mean your quick connect is defective. 3. Inspect one of the LP manifolds located beneath the coach. If the manifold is labeled with “M.B. Sturgis INC”, this unit does not require replacement of the quick connect. 4. If step 3 is unsuccessful, inspect the quick connect. The quick connect will not require replacement if the flow lever or coupler is labeled with M.B. Sturgis, 5. The quick connect will require replacement if: • MH60896 is visible on the body of the fitting • If “ENERCO” or “76290W” is visible on the coupler Note: these markings may be difficult to see and may require brass cleaner or tracing with a black felt marker. The coupler for the Flextech/Enerco quick connect is commonly brass 6. After completing steps 3 through 6: • Contact your dealer if your unit requires replacement of the quick connect • Contact Ember Ownership Experience if your unit does not require a replacement. This will remove your name from future mailings regarding this recall and assist us in tracking recall completion. Figure 1: LP Manifold Figure 2: M.B.
