Reported June 20, 2008 · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Potentially affected: 22 vehicles

Manufacturer campaign R08014 · Owners notified August 7, 2008 · Vehicles built March 17, 2008 – April 8, 2008 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

MONACO IS RECALLING 22 MY 2009 ALUMASCAPE FIFTH WHEEL, ALUMASCAPE SUITE AND PRESIDENTIAL TRAVEL TRAILERS. THESE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." WHEN TIRES WERE CHANGED ON THESE VEHICLES, THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABEL WAS PRINTED WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION. THE TIRE INFLATION IS LISTED AS 80 PSI WHEN THE CORRECT PRESSURE SHOULD BE 65 PSI.

Safety consequence

OVER INFLATED TIRES COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE; POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SUDDEN BLOWOUT OR OTHER FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE UNIT INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL MAIL CONSUMERS THE CORRECTED LABELS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 7, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

Incident: October 4, 2012 · Filed: October 16, 2012

LIPPERT AXLE SYSTEM AXLE MODEL NV-173547 AXLE RATING 7000 LBS. CONTRARY TO A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE, THE LIPPERT SBS WHEEL/BEARINGS ARE NOT NEV-R- LUBE (SIMILAR BUT WITH SOME CRITICAL DIFFERENCES). ALSO THIS IS NOT THE KODIAK DISK BRAKE SYSTEM, IT IS THE DRUM BRAKE SYSTEM (THE ONLY THING KODIAK IS THE DUST CAP). IF YOU HAVE THE LIPPERT SBS (SEALED BEARING SYSTEM) YOU WILL HAVE BEARING FAILURE; THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHEN! THE MAIN PROBLEM IS NOT CHINESE BEARINGS (ALTHOUGH I AM SURE THAT DOESN'T HELP). IT IS A SERIOUSLY FLAWED DESIGN. THE BEARING WASHER DISTORTS TO A CONICAL SHAPE BY THE FORCES GENERATED WHILE RUNNING AND MANEUVERING. YOU CAN KEEP THE TORQUE CHECKED, BUT AFTER ABOUT 7000 MILES 100 SHARP TURNING MANEUVERS, THE BEARING WASHER IS SO DISTORTED INTO A CONICAL SHAPE THAT THE WASHER BOTTOMS OUT ON THE AXLE SHOULDER AND NO LONGER PROVIDES THE BEARING PRE-LOAD THAT IS REQUIRED. I HAVE HAD ONE BEARING FAILURE AND ANOTHER ON THE WAY, I HAVE RETORQUED THESE, BUT THEY NEVER STAY TIGHT, MY FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER WEIGHS ALMOST 13,000 POUNDS, THE WEIGHT IS STRESSING THE LARGE WASHER BEHIND THE AXLE NUT CAUSING THE AXLE NUT TO SPIN LOOSE, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EVEN SOMEONE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *TR 11/14/12 *CN UPDATED 11/14/2012 *JS

Incident: April 12, 2012 · Filed: April 12, 2012

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HOLIDAY RAMBLER PRESIDENTIAL. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PLAQUE ON THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER THAT STATED THAT A SECURE NUT HAD TO BE REMOVED BEFORE THE SPARE TIRE COULD BE REMOVED FROM ITS MOUNT. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO SECURE NUT OR A LOCATION WHERE ONE COULD BE INSERTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS SECURED ONLY WITH A CABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THEY HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE TRAILER DID NOT CONTAIN AN ODOMETER; THEREFORE THERE WAS NO FAILURE MILEAGE.
