    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim, these refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005 or monaco at 574-862-7211.

    Equipment / Other / Labels

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers' federal certification labels are incorrect. The tire inflation is listed as 60 PSI when the correct should be 80 PSI. In addition, the axle weight rating is incorrect on certain 1998 imperial travel trailers. The label shows 6000 lbs. When the correct rating should be 5200 lbs.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This incorrect information could lead to under/over inflated tires and could cause or contribute to premature tire failure possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the unit.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the federal certification label on the units involved. Owner notification is expected to begin during april 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free label within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
