1. 08V257000Received 5 Jun 2008. 8,587 units.

   Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number R08017. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 29 Aug 2008.

2. 04V483000Received 5 Oct 2004. 3,439 units.

   Structure / Frame and Members

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   This could cause the driver of the tow vehicle to lose control creating the potential for a crash resulting in personal injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number R02233. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 29 Oct 2004.

3. 03V166000Received 8 May 2003.

   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.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORP..

4. 03V128000Received 7 Apr 2003. 125 units.

   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.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORP.. Manufacturer campaign number R02146. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Sep 2003.

5. 01V112000Received 5 Apr 2001. 6,280 units.

   Electrical System / Wiring

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers. A wire supplying 12volt DC to the holding tank monitoring system display panel was installed without proper circuit protection. The circuit is connected to the voltage source with a 12volt DC 50 amp self-resetting circuit breaker as protection against an electrical short to ground.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An electrical short could occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install a 6-amp circuit breaker on the 12volt DC wire supplying voltage to the holding tank monitor panel display. Owner notification began june 5, 2001. 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 monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 5 Jun 2001.

6. 01V018000Received 23 Jan 2001. 491 units.

   Fuel System, Other / Delivery / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by MONACO COACH CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 29 Mar 2001.
