Monaco Coach Corporation: Equipment › Other › Labels
Monaco Coach Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 10, 2004 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 95. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS.' THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABELS CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE RIM SIZE AND TIRE INFLATION RATING AS WELL AS AN INCORRECT RATING FOR THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) AND FRONT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR).
The risk
THIS MISPRINT COULD LEAD TO AN INCORRECT RIM BEING PLACED ON THE UNIT THAT WOULD NOT BE RATED FOR THE GAWR, IN ADDITION TO OVERLOADING THE UNIT AND OVER-INFLATING THE TIRES. DRIVING WITH OVER-INFLATED TIRES CAN CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECTED FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. IF AN OWNER WISHES, A DEALER CAN PLACE THE LABEL ON FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 30, 2004. 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 04V391000.
