NHTSA campaign 02V004007 · Part 573 safety recall report

Monaco Coach Corp.: Vehicle Speed Control › Accelerator Pedal

Monaco Coach Corp. reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 9, 2002 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 232. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL/ACCELERATOR PEDALS SUPPLIED BY WILLIAMS CONTROLS INDUSTRIES, THE WELD ATTACHING THE CLEVIS TO THE PLATE HAS INSUFFICIENT PENETRATION AND COULD ALLOW THE CLEVIS TO SEPARATE FROM THE PLATE.

The risk

IF THE CLEVIS SEPARATED FROM THE PLATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE, THE VEHICLE WOULD RETURN TO IDLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE PEDALS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 9, 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-344-6332 OR WILLIAMS CONTROL AT 1-503-684-8600.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 02V004007.
