    Steering / Gear Box / Shaft Pitman

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Monaco is recalling 202 my 2006 monarch se, my 2009 riptide, my 2006 holiday rambler admiral se, my 2007-2009 arista, my 2007-2009 safari passage, my 2006 simba and trek gas, and my 2006-2007 r-vision trail-lite and trail-aire motor homes built on workhorse chassis.
