2011 Monaco RV Riptide recalls
Recall 15V-872: Equipment
Problem: Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Holiday Rambler Admiral, 2009-2014 Holiday Rambler Ambassador, 2010 Holiday Rambler Arista, 2010-2014 Holiday Rambler Endeavor, 2009-2011 Holiday Rambler Neptune, 2011-2014 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, 2009-2011 Monaco Cayman, 2010-2014 Monaco Diplomat, 2014 Monaco Dynasty, 2009-2014 Monaco Knight, 2012-2013 Monaco LaPalma, 2009-2013 Monaco Monarch, 2009-2011 Monaco Riptide, 2008 Safari Passage, and 2008 Safari Simba motorhomes. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double Electric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps. This bolt may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.
Risk: Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
Fix: ARG will notify owners and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2016. Owners may contact ARG customer service number at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 151216REV.
Recall 11V-105: Visibility
Problem: Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 riptide recreational vehicles. The porous metal castings may cause cracking of the wiper arm at the mounting to the pivot shaft. Material cracking at the pivot shaft could result in the wiper arm being disabled without warning which could lead to reduced driver visibility.
Risk: Decreased drivers visibility may increase the risk of a crash possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Dealers will replace the drivers and passengers side wiper arms free of charge. The safety recall began on march 11, 2011. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 10V-583: Equipment
Problem: Navistar is recalling certain motor coach and recreational vehicles equipped with atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.
Risk: A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Fix: Navistar is working with atwood and will replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on december 8, 2010. Owners may contact atwood at 1-574-266-4749.
