08V257000OtherJune 5, 2008 · 8,587 units

Defect

MONACO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD REFRIGERATORS. A FATIGUE FAILURE IN THE SECTION OF THE COOLING UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE REFRIGERANT COULD ALLOW THE LIQUID SOLUTION TO SLOWLY LEAK.

Consequence

EXTENDED OPERATION OF A LEAKING COOLING UNIT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GAS WHICH MIGHT ESCAPE.

Remedy

MONACO IS WORKING WITH NORCOLD TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS. NORCOLD WILL PROVIDE THERMAL SWITCH KITS TO OWNERS ALONG WITH THE NECESSARY FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NORCOLD AT 1-800-767-9101 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

04V483000Body & StructureOctober 5, 2004 · 3,439 units

Defect

ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, A DEFICIENCY IN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MAIN FRAME RAILS COULD CAUSE THE RAILS TO CRACK AND AXLES COULD SHIFT, CAUSING THE FIFTH WHEEL TO PULL ERRATICALLY.

Consequence

THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER OF THE TOW VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND ADD AN ADDITION OF GUSSET PLATES AND CROSS TUBES TO STRENGHEN THE AXLE SPRING HANGERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 29, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

01V018000Fuel SystemJanuary 23, 2001 · 491 units

Defect

FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS. THE ROUTING OF THE LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG) LINE WAS INADVERTENTLY INSTALLED IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE SLIDEOUT. IF THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH THE LINE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, THERE IS THE RISK OF PREMATURE FAILURE DUE TO ABRASION, OR PUNCTURE OF THE LPG LINE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO RELEASE OF LPG IN THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE.

Consequence

THE RELEASE OF THE LPG INSIDE THE VEHICLE COULD LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REFRIGERATOR LPG LINE, AND IF MOUNTED IN THE SLIDEOUT, THE STOVE LPG LINE. THE NEW LINE(S) WILL BE ROUTED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM ACCESSIBLE THE ENTIRE RUN TO THE APPLIANCE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 29, 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
