2006 Holiday Rambler Vacationer recalls

Recall 06V-361: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Sep 19, 2006 · 2,941 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.

Risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.

Fix: Workhorse is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (Please see 06v225). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 877-294-6773 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Recall 06V-226: Steering

Reported Jun 22, 2006 · 404 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: Certain motor home chassis built on workhorse chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The spline can strip while the steering wheel is being turned.

Risk: This steering condition could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Workhorse is conducting this recall (Please see 06v148000) and will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Brakes on my 2006 holiday rambler motorhome with a workhorse chassis I have had interm notices, but no actual recall yet, and 2 days ago my brakes went completely out while traveling on I-87 in new york state, I had my wife and grand daughter with me and luckily I was able to pull to a save stop off an exit, because no one was in front of me. I called work horse and they are sending me to a dealer in scotia ny for a fix that is only going to be until the new bosh brake caliper are available, which wont be until the end of october. This problem has been known by work horse for almost two years…
