NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 01V018000.
Defect description
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.
Safety consequence
THE 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.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS 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.
