What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2001 Monaco Coach Signature, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I SUDDENLY LOST MY HEADLIGHTS. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION THE 20 AMP HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT IS FED DIRECTLY INTO AN SM209 CONTROLLER THROUGH LIGHT GAUGE WIRING (20 AMPS REQUIRES THE USE OF 12 GA.) VIA A FLIMSY LIGHT DUTY ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT POSITION J12. THIS CONNECTION FRIED AT THE CONNECTOR DAMAGING THE CONTROLLER AND DIRECTLY CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL BLOGS I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. HAVING DRIVEN DOWN SEVERAL PITCH-BLACK STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE FLOWN OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO VISIBILITY. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS
