1999 Holiday Rambler Endeavor recalls (3)

Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailerMay 8, 2003 · NHTSA campaign 03V166000

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.

StructureSep 9, 2002 · NHTSA campaign 02V237000 · 6,223 vehicles

Problem: On certain class a motor homes, the floor truss network support system has a potential to weaken causing internal and external features to become misaligned. The affected vehicles are 1999 - 2003 class a motor homes manufactured on f53 20,500 pound gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), ford chassis, and 2000-2003 class a motor homes manufactured on w-22 22,000 pound gvwr, workhorse chassis.

Risk: Conditions can result in the bottoming out the suspension and amplification of the stress placed on the floor truss network. The additional stress can result in the fracture of welds securing the floor truss network system to the chassis frame rail and/or fracture of the floor truss network support system. The possibility exists that there could be damage to electrical wiring and/or fuel lines which could potentially lead to a fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the floor truss network support system, reinforce the existing structure, and repair, as needed, the floor truss network support. Owner notification began november 5, 2002. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Equipment:other:labelsOct 19, 2000 · NHTSA campaign 00V331000 · 3,121 vehicles

Problem: Vehicle description: motor coaches produced on roadmaster chassis and diesel class a motor coaches produced on freightliner chassis. The federal certification label contains the incorrect tire pressure inflation information. This does not comply with requirements of part 567, "certification" and fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."

Risk: Under or over-inflated tires can cause or contribute to premature tire failure, possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.

Fix: Dealers will replace the certification label with a new label, which contains the correct recommended tire inflation data.
