Monaco Coach Corp. reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 7, 2003 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 125. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS' FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABELS ARE INCORRECT. THE TIRE INFLATION IS LISTED AS 60 PSI WHEN THE CORRECT SHOULD BE 80 PSI. IN ADDITION, THE AXLE WEIGHT RATING IS INCORRECT ON CERTAIN 1998 IMPERIAL TRAVEL TRAILERS. THE LABEL SHOWS 6000 LBS. WHEN THE CORRECT RATING SHOULD BE 5200 LBS.
The risk
THIS INCORRECT INFORMATION COULD LEAD TO UNDER/OVER INFLATED TIRES AND 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.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL ON THE UNITS INVOLVED. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE LABEL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-877-466-6226.

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 03V128000.
