NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE TAILLIGHT SOCKET COULD FAIL AND CAUSE THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING TO MELT.
The risk
IF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING MELTED, IT COULD LEAVE THE MOTOR HOME WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW TAILLIGHT SOCKET AND CONNECTOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 10, 2003. 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.
