Recall 04V-483: Structure

Reported Oct 5, 2004 · 3,439 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: 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.

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

Fix: 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.

Recall 01V-018: Fuel System, Other

Reported Jan 23, 2001 · 491 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORP.

Problem: 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.

Risk: 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.

Fix: 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.

I have a 2001 holiday rambler 26' fifth wheel rv,on this date numerous frame cracks and broken welds were found which caused the axles to move laterally about 6 inches resulting in 1 blowout at highway speed.
