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.

RiskEXTENDED OPERATION OF A LEAKING COOLING UNIT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GAS WHICH MIGHT ESCAPE.

FixMONACO 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 FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, A DEFICIENCY IN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MAIN FRAME RAILS COULD CAUSE THE RAILS TO CRACK AND AXLES COULD SHIFT, CAUSING THE FIFTH WHEEL TO PULL ERRATICALLY.

RiskTHIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER OF THE TOW VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

FixDEALERS WILL INSPECT AND ADD AN ADDITION OF GUSSET PLATES AND CROSS TUBES TO STRENGHEN THE AXLE SPRING HANGERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 29, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS. A WIRE SUPPLYING 12VOLT DC TO THE HOLDING TANK MONITORING SYSTEM DISPLAY PANEL WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. THE CIRCUIT IS CONNECTED TO THE VOLTAGE SOURCE WITH A 12VOLT DC 50 AMP SELF-RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKER AS PROTECTION AGAINST AN ELECTRICAL SHORT TO GROUND.

RiskAN ELECTRICAL SHORT COULD OCCUR.

FixDEALERS WILL INSTALL A 6-AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE 12VOLT DC WIRE SUPPLYING VOLTAGE TO THE HOLDING TANK MONITOR PANEL DISPLAY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 5, 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.

FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS. THE ROUTING OF THE LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG) LINE WAS INADVERTENTLY INSTALLED IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE SLIDEOUT. IF THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH THE LINE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, THERE IS THE RISK OF PREMATURE FAILURE DUE TO ABRASION, OR PUNCTURE OF THE LPG LINE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO RELEASE OF LPG IN THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE.

RiskTHE RELEASE OF THE LPG INSIDE THE VEHICLE COULD LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

FixDEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REFRIGERATOR LPG LINE, AND IF MOUNTED IN THE SLIDEOUT, THE STOVE LPG LINE. THE NEW LINE(S) WILL BE ROUTED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM ACCESSIBLE THE ENTIRE RUN TO THE APPLIANCE. 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.
