2006 Beaver Coach Monterey

Defect. ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE FRONT ELECTRICAL BOX/FIREWALL CAN OVERLOAD.

Risk. CHANGES IN THE COMPONENT SUPPLIER RELAY REQUIREMENTS WITH AN UPDATED CONTROLLER WERE CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO STOP FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW WIRING HARNESS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

Defect. ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SYSTEMS' AQUA-HOT AND HYDRO-HOT WATER HEATERS, WHICH USE WEBASTO BURNER TUBES, THE BURNER TUBES DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY.

Risk. THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST TUBE EXITING FROM THE HEATER CAN INCREASE AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS (BURNER TUBES) WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

WITH OUR NEW 2006 BEAVER MONTERY MOTOR COACH, THE FIRST TIME WE USED UNIT IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS FAILED, WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER GOING OFF THE GLASS TO THE LEFT MOST POSITION OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN WE CALLED 24 HR SERVICE LINE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CONTROL ARM AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE WE WERE ON HIGHWAY IN VERY HEAVY RAIN, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE UNTIL RAIN STOPPED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL. *JB
