REF: RECALL 02V278000 FRONT BRAKES OVERHEATED TO THE POINT OF SMOKING. CALIPERS WERE STICKING. PRIMARILY LT. FRONT. RT FRONT WAS OVERHEATED BUT NOT AS SEVERE. REARS OK. MONACO COACH CLAIMS RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND RECALL IS CLOSED ON THIS VEHICLE. PER DISCUSSION WITH MONACO COACH RECALL HOTLINE REP. THE RECALL WORK,DONE IN SEPT OF 2004 DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF THE CALIPERS. IN MAY OF 2005 EXTENSIVE REPAIR WORK WAS AGAIN DONE ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM (I HAVE A COPY OF THE RECEIPT) BUT AGAIN DID NOT INCLUDE CALIPER REPLACEMENT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2005. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTED FRONT CALIPER OVERHEATING AND CONTACTED THE MONACO TECH LINE FOR INFO. THE OVERHEATING CONTINUED AND I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED BY A LOCAL SHOP IN PENSACOLA FLORIDA. THE BRAKE OVERHEATING HAS NOW BEEN ELIMINATED. VIRTUALLY EVERY SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD BEEN REPLACED AND THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL THE CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. I AM QUESTIONING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FIELD INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL. "INSPECTION" OF THE CALIPERS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A GUARANTEED RESOLUTION. MY BRAKE OVERHEATING PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED UNTIL THE CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. I REPLACED THEM PRIOR TO ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RECALL. IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MONACO TECHS. NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE RECALL OR POTENTIAL CALIPER PROBLEMS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL IN A INTERNET SEARCH ON MY VEHICLES. *NM

MONACO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD REFRIGERATORS. A FATIGUE FAILURE IN THE SECTION OF THE COOLING UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE REFRIGERANT COULD ALLOW THE LIQUID SOLUTION TO SLOWLY LEAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXTENDED OPERATION OF A LEAKING COOLING UNIT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GAS WHICH MIGHT ESCAPE.
Remedy: MONACO IS WORKING WITH NORCOLD TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS. NORCOLD WILL PROVIDE THERMAL SWITCH KITS TO OWNERS ALONG WITH THE NECESSARY FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NORCOLD AT 1-800-767-9101 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES EXHIBIT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES THAT CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC DETERIORATION OF THE WHEEL END COMPONENTS SUCH AS BEARINGS, RACES, SPINDLES, KNUCKLES, SEALS, HUBS, ROTORS, PATCH BOLTS, CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, AND ABS SENSORS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, AND/OR THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FOR CORROSION AND REPLACE OR REBUILD THE CALIPERS AS NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES BUILT BY AM-SAFE. ON SOME SEAT BELTS, THE BUCKLE AND CONNECTOR MAY UNLATCH DURING A COLLISION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT IS NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LAP BELTS AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW BELT ASSEMBLY. AM-SAFE IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION. 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 AM-SAFE AT 219-266-8330 OR MONACO AT 219-862-7211.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH ALLISON 1000 OR 2400 SERIES TRANSMISSIONS. THESE TRANSMISSIONS CAN EXPERIENCE PARK PAWL TO REAR COVER INTERFERENCE DUE TO AN OUT OF FLATNESS CONDITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE NON-ENGAGEMENT OF THE PARK PAWL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SELECTOR IS MOVED TO THE PARK POSITION, RESULTING IN UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: ALLISON TRANSMISSION IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE VEHICLE, REPLACE THE PARK PAWL, AND REINSTALL THE TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. 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 ALLISON AT 1-800-252-5283 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH MERITOR WABCO PHASE 1, D-VERSION ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), FAIL TO COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS." AN INTERNAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM IN THE ABS MAY NOT DETECT AN EXTREME WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP. SUCH A CONDITION COULD POSSIBLY OCCUR DURING (1) ORIGINAL ASSEMBLY OR (2) SUBSEQUENT WHEEL END SERVICE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD DISABLE THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION ON THE AFFECTED WHEEL WITHOUT PROVIDING THE REQUIRED OPERATOR WARNING THAT THE ABS FUNCTION REQUIRES SERVICING.
Remedy: MERITOR IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY SCHEDULING FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THE ABS ECU WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED OR THE ECU WILL BE REPROGRAMMED. 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 MERITOR WABCO AT 1-800-535-5560.
