What’s wrong with it?
If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Winnebago and Itasca motor homes.
A cutting machine may have scored the copper propane tubing resulting in unknown long-term reliability.
