Notes: Argosy campaign no n/A.28' motorhome.possibility that the propane gasregulator was improperly mounted and that a protective plate must be installedin front of the second stage regulator to protect it from freezing rain androad splatter.if these conditions exists, the improperly mounted regulatorwill not drain moisture out the provided vent.and if the ambient tempertureshould drop below freezing, the regulators could become inoperative.inoperative regulators could reduce the gas pressure to "o", or could let thefull propane tank pressure enter the system.excessive pressure on appliancevalves could overcome their safety features and allow propane gas to enter thecoach, and in turn cause a fire or explosion.(correct by inspecting andcorrecting installation of the gas regulator and installing a protective platein front of the LPG tank).

Has your Argosy been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Argosy dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
