Defect: Monaco RV, LLC (Monaco) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 recreational vehicles equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Consequence: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Monaco will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 17, 2014. Owners may contact Monaco at 1-877-466-6226 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
Defect: CERTAIN MONACO RV MODEL YEAR 2010 TRAVEL TRAILERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 26, 2008 AND JULY 31, 2009 FAIL TO CONFORM WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABEL CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERLOADING THE VEHICLE.
Consequence: OVERLOADING CAN RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE FRAME COMPONENTS, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SUDDEN TIRE BLOWOUT OR OTHER FAILURE WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE UNIT AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: MONACO RV WILL MAIL OWNERS A NOTIFICATION LETTER AND A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND LOADING LABEL ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING THE LABEL. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 14, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO RV AT 1-800-685-6545.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
