2002 Safari Zanzibar recalls
Recall 02V-278: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: On certain motor homes, the brake assemblies exhibit elevated temperatures that can lead to catastrophic deterioration of the wheel end components such as bearings, races, spindles, knuckles, seals, hubs, rotors, patch bolts, calipers, brake pads, and ABS sensors.
Risk: This could result in loss of control, and/or the potential for a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the front and rear brake calipers for corrosion and replace or rebuild the calipers as necessary. The recall began on august 18, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Recall 02V-004: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
Risk: If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began september 9, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-800-344-6332 or williams control at 1-503-684-8600.
