2005 Holiday Rambler Alumascape

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.

Risk. THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. MONACO IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 26, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

WE HAVE HAD THREE WHEELS ON OUR 2005 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ALUMASCAPE FIFTH-WHEEL BREAK LOOSE AT THE CENTER PORTION OF THE WHEEL. THESE WERE ALL WHILE WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME ON LONG TRIPS. WE HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THREE REPLACEMENT WHEELS---NONE ARE ALIKE AT THE TIME, SINCE THEY WERE PURCHASED ON THE ROAD WHERE EVER WE WERE ABLE TO GET ONE TO FIT THE FIFTH WHEEL AT THE TIME. SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE SEEMED ODD TO US, WE CHECKED TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR RV. UNFORTUNATELY, WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WE WERE NOTIFIED EACH TIME BY PASSING MOTORIST WHO MOTIONED FOR US TO PULL OVER AND CHECK OUR WHEEL. *TR
