Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Monaco is recalling certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerators. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.
Risk: Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
Fix: Monaco is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators. Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The recall began on august 29, 2008. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Structure:frame and members
Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers, a deficiency in the structural integrity of the main frame rails could cause the rails to crack and axles could shift, causing the fifth wheel to pull erratically.
Risk: This could cause the driver of the tow vehicle to lose control creating the potential for a crash resulting in personal injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and add an addition of gusset plates and cross tubes to strenghen the axle spring hangers. The recall began on october 29, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: On certain motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim, these refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Risk: If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Fix: Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005 or monaco at 574-862-7211.
Electrical system:wiring
Problem: Vehicle description: travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers. A wire supplying 12volt dc to the holding tank monitoring system display panel was installed without proper circuit protection. The circuit is connected to the voltage source with a 12volt dc 50 amp self-resetting circuit breaker as protection against an electrical short to ground.
Risk: An electrical short could occur.
Fix: Dealers will install a 6-amp circuit breaker on the 12volt dc wire supplying voltage to the holding tank monitor panel display. Owner notification began june 5, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Fuel system, other:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: Fifth wheel trailers. The routing of the liquid propane gas (lpg) line was inadvertently installed in the sidewall of the slideout. If the recreational vehicle is operated with the line improperly installed, there is the risk of premature failure due to abrasion, or puncture of the lpg line, which could lead to release of lpg in the recreational vehicle.
Risk: The release of the lpg inside the vehicle could lead to an explosion in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Fix: Dealers will replace the refrigerator lpg line, and if mounted in the slideout, the stove lpg line. The new line(s) will be routed in a way that makes them accessible the entire run to the appliance. Owner notification began march 29, 2001. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
