Defect. Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Holiday Rambler Admiral, 2009-2014 Holiday Rambler Ambassador, 2010 Holiday Rambler Arista, 2010-2014 Holiday Rambler Endeavor, 2009-2011 Holiday Rambler Neptune, 2011-2014 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, 2009-2011 Monaco Cayman, 2010-2014 Monaco Diplomat, 2014 Monaco Dynasty, 2009-2014 Monaco Knight, 2012-2013 Monaco LaPalma, 2009-2013 Monaco Monarch, 2009-2011 Monaco Riptide, 2008 Safari Passage, and 2008 Safari Simba motorhomes. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double Electric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps. This bolt may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.

Risk. Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. ARG will notify owners and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2016. Owners may contact ARG customer service number at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 151216REV.

THE TRUCK KEEPS ON IN THE STARTING MODE BUT WILL NOT GET ANY FUEL. THE FUEL RELAY MUST BE BYPASSED ON THE TIPM IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SOME DODGE CARAVANS BUT NOT THE DODGE TRUCK. BUT WE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE TRUCKS ALSO.

Visibility/Wiper
Filed May 1, 20132,500 milesFL

DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD AT LEAST FOUR FAILURES OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING HEAVY RAINSTORMS. THE RUBBER BLADE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER GOES OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND HANGS UP ON THE RUBBER WINDSHIELD MOLDING THEREBY CAUSING THE MOTOR AND USUALLY THE CONTROL MODULE TO FAIL. THE REPAIR PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED PARTS AND THE WIPERS WILL WORK IN THE PARKING LOT BUT FAIL WITH THE ADDITIONAL WIND PRESSURE FROM HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE REPAIR TECHNICIANS DO NOT HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM OR WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT FAILURE RECURRENCE. DRIVING WITHOUT WORKING WIPERS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
