AUTOMATIC BRAKE SLACK ADJUSTERS ON DRIVE AXLE DO NOT FUNCTION. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SLACK ADJUSTERS MANUALLY ADJUSTED. PROBLEM WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN ROAD IN COLORADO DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING. THE GRADE AT THAT POINT WAS APPROXIMATELY 3% AND THE COACH BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AFTER SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE. PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD ADEQUATELY AFTER PROPER ADJUSTMENT OF SLACK ADJUSTERS. I HAVE NO WAY TO TEST THE HOLDING POWER OF THE PARKING BRAKE, HOWEVER WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND ENGINE SET AT HIGH IDLE (APPROXIMATELY 1,000 RPM) THE BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD THE COACH FROM MOVEMENT. *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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON ROADMASTER CHASSIS. AS THE RESULT OF THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE ENGINE SYSTEM IN RESPECT TO THE ROUTING OF THE 12-VOLT DC BATTERY CABLES, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE INSULATION ON THE BATTERY CABLE TO MELT AND CREATE A SHORT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE 12-VOLT DC SYSTEM AND ENGINE OPERATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD TWO HEAT SHIELDS TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO DEFLECT HEAT, AND ADD HEAT SHIELDING SLEEVE MATERIAL OVER THE BATTERY CABLES IN THE AREA OF EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST HEAT. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 22, 2001. 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.
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 PRODUCED ON ROADMASTER CHASSIS. THE WATER PUMP CONTROLLER CANNOT ADEQUATELY HANDLE CURRENT LOAD WHICH CAN RESULT IN OVERHEATING OF THE PUMP CONTROLLER.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD A WIRE HARNESS AND RELAYS TO RELIEVE THE OVERLOAD POTENTIAL FROM THE WATER PUMP CONTROLLER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 29, 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
