Recall 08V-273: Equipment

Reported Jun 20, 2008 · 22 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: Monaco is recalling 22 my 2009 alumascape fifth wheel, alumascape suite and presidential travel trailers. These trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." when tires were changed on these vehicles, the federal identification label was printed with incorrect information. The tire inflation is listed as 80 PSI when the correct pressure should be 65 PSI.

Risk: Over inflated tires 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 increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will mail consumers the corrected labels along with instructions. Customers will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The recall began on august 7, 2008. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Also this is not the kodiak disk brake system, it is the drum brake system (The only thing kodiak is the dust cap). If you have the lippert sbs (Sealed bearing system) you will have bearing failure; the only question is when! The main problem is not chinese bearings (Although I AM sure that doesn't help).
