Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

07V423000

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Sep 6, 2007
3,463 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: RELEASE OF COOLANT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD IGNITE AND RESULT IN A FIRE.
The remedy: 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.

95V226000

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Nov 30, 1995
301 units potentially affected
The defect: 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."
The 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.
The remedy: 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.

95V154000

SUSPENSION

Aug 16, 1995
783 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The 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.
The remedy: 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

Aug 9, 1995
251 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECT TIRES AND TIRE INFLATION CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy: 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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Safety investigations

NHTSA inquiries naming this vehicle. An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and it is not a recall.
