Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: On certain motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, the refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Fix: Monaco will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
Equipment:other:labels
Problem: The federal certification label overstates the gross axle weight rating (gawr) as 5,000 lbs. The correct gawr is 4,670 lbs. This does not conform to fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: the load rating for the tires and atires pressures designated on the federal certification label are not appropriate for the incorrectly stated gawr. Incorrect tire and tire inflations can result in tire failure and possible vehicle accident.
Fix: Owners will be sent replacement certification labels and instructions for replacing them. If they prefer, owners can have their dealers replace these labels for them.
Suspension
Problem: The storage compartment at the rear of the unit does not have a specified storage weight limitation and can therefore be loaded beyond the manufacturer's intentions. Also some units were designed with a fresh water tank located at the rear of the unit. As a result, these trailers exhibit reduced stability while being towed.
Risk: Overloading of the rear storage compartment especially with a full, rear-mounted fresh water tank, can cause reduced trailer stability and increase the potential for an accident.
Fix: Dealers will place a label on the storage compartment to indicate the maximum storage weight capacity, will relocate the fresh water tank on the affected models, and install a "hensley arrow" hitch which will provide a better towing stability. The "hensley arrow" hitch will not be a required part for the remedy on the 1995 aluma-lite 31cfs travel trailer due to the unit's shorter length.
Equipment:other:labels
Problem: The federal certification label incorrectly states the gross axle weight rating (gawr) causing the load ratings for the tires and tire pressures to be wrong. This does not comply with fmvss no.120.
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: incorrect tires and tire inflation can result in tire failure and possible vehicle accident.
Fix: Owners will be sent replacement certification labels and instructions for replacing them. If they prefer, owners can have their dealers replace these labels for them.
