What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

The risk

AN ELECTRICAL SHORT COULD OCCUR, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CABLES FOR DAMAGE AND LOCATION WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SHOULD DAMAGE BE PRESENT, THE CABLES WILL BE REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 29, 2002. 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 MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
