Monaco Coach Corp.: Electrical System › 12v/24v/48v Battery › Cables
Monaco Coach Corp. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jul 28, 2003 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 135. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE BATTERY CABLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE FRAME OF THE COACH.
The risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE CABLE BECOMING WORN AND CREATING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE 12-VOLT SYSTEM THAT COULD DAMAGE THE BATTERY AND/OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL ROTATE THE EYELET ON THE CIRCUIT BREAKER TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CABLE RUBBING ON THE FRAME. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

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 03V267000.
