Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

Latest May 13, 2005
InvestigationsNHTSA 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.

86 units potentially affected

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:WATER HEATER

Oct 1, 2004
44 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED WITH OPTIONAL AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATERS, THE EXHAUST TERMINATION FOR THE HEATER WAS LOCATED UNDER THE BEDROOM SLIDE OUT, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED BEYOND THE PERIPHERY OF THE VEHICLE.
The risk: THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR FUMES TO ENTER THE COACH AND POSSIBLY ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES TO VENT INTO THE MOTOR HOME, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS.
The remedy: FOR THE 2003 MOTOR HOMES, DEALERS WILL USE THE EXISTING PIPE FROM THE AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATER, AND REPAIR IT SO THAT THE END TERMINATION WILL BE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MOTOR HOME. FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MOTOR HOMES, DEALERS WILL ADD AN EXHAUST PIPE TO THE EXISTING EXHAUST SYSTEM FROM THE AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATER. THE ADDITIONAL PIPE WILL BE INSTALLED SO THAT THE END TERMINATION WILL ALSO BE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MOTOR HOME. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 27, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

THE BACK AXLE BROKE IN TWO, RIGHT WHEELS WERE GETTING WITH IN AN INCH OF FENDER WALL. WE COME WITH IN MILES OF WREAKING OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IN HIGHWAY SAFETY I CAN REPORT THIS TOO. AND ALSO HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST THE MANUFACTURE. IN OTHER WORDS SEND OUR BILLS TO THEM. AND WHO EVER ELSE NEEDS THIS REPORT; WE DID NOT GET ANY NOTICE OR ??RECALL?? OF THE WEAK PART WE WERE TRUSTING TO GET US PLACES SAFE. OURS WAS NOT CRACKED IT WAS BROKE INTO, WHEN THE SHOP FOUND IT. SO WE ARE SAFE BUT NOT BECAUSE THE MAKER OF THE CHASSIE DID THEIR PART. READ REPORTS BELOW: ANY INFO OUT THERE ON THIS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC BREAKING PROBLEM?? THIS COULD CAUSE A LARGE DAMAGE PILE UP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY HAVE SHIPPED APPROXIMATELY 8-12 OF THESE OVER THE PAST FOUR WEEKS FOR DOWN COACHES DUE TO FAILURE. *TR
