Defect: CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES LACK THE REQUIRED JOUNCE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS. THE TIRES MAY RUB ON THE FLAT PANELS THAT ENCLOSE THE HOLDING TANKS AREA AND THE SCREWS WHICH SECURE THESE PANELS MAY RUB THE INNER SIDEWALL OF THE REAR DUAL TIRES.
Consequence: IF THE SCREWS CONTINUE TO RUB THE INNER REAR DUAL TIRE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE COULD EVENTUALLY BE A TIRE FAILURE. A TIRE BLOW OUT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IN ADDITION, IF THE VEHICLE IS RUN ON A FLAT TIRE, THIS COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIAL FIRE IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE REAR DUAL TIRES AND CUT OUT AN AREA OF FOAM FROM THE INNER WHEEL WELLS THAT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A PIECE OF ABS PLASTIC FORMED PANEL AND AN ANGLE TO SEAL THE AREA. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 23, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
Defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH ATWOOD SEALED BURNER RANGES, THE RANGE AND SLIDE-IN BURNER TUBES LEADING FROM THE GAS MANIFOLD TO THE BURNER HEADS HAD A DEPRESSION OR 'KINK' IN THE EXTERIOR BEND RESTRICTING PROPER AIRFLOW AND GAS MIXTURE.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
Remedy: MONACO IS WORKING WITH ATWOOD TO HAVE THE TUBES REPLACED ON THESE RANGES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 14, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ATWOOD AT 1-800-348-7418 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
Defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, AN INCORRECT SCREW WAS USED TO INSTALL THE BLACK AND WHITE CRT BACK-UP MONITOR IN THE DASH. THE INCORRECT SCREWS ARE 1/4" LONGER THAN SPECIFIED AND MAY CONTACT A PC BOARD INSIDE THE MONITOR WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY HIT A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT ON THE PC BOARD OF APPROXIMATELY 10,000-13,000 VOLTS. (excerpt)
Consequence: IF THE SCREW MAKES CONTACT WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRACER ON THE PC BOARD AND SOMEONE WOULD TOUCH THE SCREW HEAD WHILE THE POWER IS ON, AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR CAUSING INJURY. (excerpt)
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BACK-UP MONITOR TO VERIFY THE OPERATION OF THE MONITOR FREE OF CHARGE. IF THE MONITOR IS OPERATING PROPERLY, THE REPAIR WILL CONSIST OF REPLACING THE INCORRECT SCREW WITH THE SPECIFIED SCREW AND TESTING FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF THE MONITOR IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY ON INITIAL INSPECTION, THE MONITOR WILL BE REPLACED USING THE CORRECT SCREW. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY (excerpt)

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.
This record lists no complaint under this name, and zero is not confirmed in this data build; the notes below give the reason.
NHTSA lists complaints for this model year under related names: SIMBA (1). They are counted on those records, not here. Zero is not confirmed for this name.
