Zip tie recall

Has anyone else recived the recall for missing a zip tie on a seal for the hot water tank .
Is this not something someone can just fix and not have to take the whole truck in?

Any pictures of where the missing zip tie goes would be appreciated.

Don't think so Steve.

I've attached the recall notice.

It is in fact a recall for a missing zip tie.

That’s a classic. Next we will have duct tape or baling wire recalls

Received it yesterday.
Seems like something we could do but guessing it has to be done at a Dealer and confirmed as this is an official recall.
The letter says it can be done at any FR Dealer so hoping a FR Dealer ( trailers ) 15 minutes from where I live will do this.

Martin_442 / I knew you were serious but still hard to take a missing zip tie as something that " I " would worry about , but that is just me ( notice of the missing zip tie resulting in fire and death - part of the deep state )

Did you guys read the recall??
Somehow this zip tie is supposed to secure a rubber grommet where the copper LP gas line passes thru the metal shield in the burner area.
IF the grommet is missing or out of place it's possible for carbon monoxide to leak into the rig.

Sounds serious.
ME- I'd look closely at the grommet around the LP gas line and then either call it good or give it a good seal job with RTV silicone seal and then call it good. Maybe both inspect and re-seal just for good measure.
