2006 Monaco Coach Lapalma 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.

Structure · at 2,250 miles · reported Oct 5, 2007

When driving about 30mph I hit a dip in the roadway. When the rear wheels entered the dip depression, the result was that the tail pipe hit the roadway and was pushed upwards into the inside of the body at the rear on the drivers side of the unit. This resulted in the opening of the tail pipe being up against the inside of the body panel with the body panel more or less blocking the exit of exhaust gases from the tailpipe. The consequence of this was that the resulting heat from the tail pipe caused extensive damager to this area of the motor home. One of the storage compartments was melted.…
