Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailerJun 5, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V257000 · 8,587 vehicles

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.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:water heaterMay 13, 2005 · NHTSA campaign 05V223000 · 1,606 vehicles

Problem: On certain class a motor homes equipped with vehicle systems' aqua-hot and hydro-hot water heaters, which use webasto burner tubes, the burner tubes do not meet specifications and could fail prematurely.

Risk: The surface temperature of the exhaust tube exiting from the heater can increase and could potentially ignite combustible materials in or around the vehicle.

Fix: Dealers will replace the combustion chambers (burner tubes) with a new one free of charge. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:water heaterJun 2, 2004 · NHTSA campaign 04V239000 · 15 vehicles

Problem: On certain motor homes, the water heater was installed under the slide-out, which made it possible for fumes to enter the coach when the water heater is lit and the coach is parked with the slide-out extended.

Risk: This can cause fumes to come up inside the coach, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.

Fix: Dealers will relocate the water heater to the opposite side of the motor home. Owner notification began on june 30, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
