WELDS ARE FAILING ON THE RIMS INSTALLED ON OUR 2004 HOLIDAY RAMBLER PRESIDENTIAL FW. REPLACED ONE IN NOVEMBER, 2ND FAILURE DETECTED 22 DEC. 2005. CALLED HOLIDAY RAMBLER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL THEY GAVE ME A TELEPHONE # FOR TREDIT WHEEL AND TIRE. COULD NOT FIND ANYONE TO TALK TO THERE. CALLED HOLIDAY RAMBLER,WAS TOLD THE COMPANY WAS PROBABLY CLOSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY SITUATION. I AM A FULL TIMER PRESENTLY PARKED AT FT SAM HOUSTION, SAN ANTONIO TX. I HAVE TO LEAVE HERE BY 9 JAN AND TRAVEL ANOTHER 1000 MILES. I CONSIDER THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. AT PRESENT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER 3 RIMS THAT HAVE THE SAME SLOPPY WELDS AND MARKED MADE IN KOREA TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $600.00. THIS IS A OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *NM
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG), IT WAS DISCOVERED AN EXCESS OF LPG HOSE WAS COILED IN THE REAR REFRIGERATOR ACCESS COMPARTMENT A CAUSING IT TO BE ROUTED CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO THE BURNER FLUE BOX COVER OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THERMAL DAMAGE TO THE LPG LINE AND PRODUCE A LEAK OF LPG IN THE ACCESS COMPARTMENT THAT COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
Remedy: OWNERS ARE BEING ASKED TO INSPECT THE LPG LINE FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS NOT CLOSE TO THE BURNER. IF NO DAMAGE TO THE LINE IS PRESENT AND THE LPG LINE IS THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH AND ROUTED CORRECTLY, THE COVER WILL BE REINSTALLED AND NO FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. IF AN EXCESS OF HOSE IS CAUSING CONTACT OR CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BURNER COVER, OWNERS SHOULD SHUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF GAS AT THE LPG TANKS AND CONTACT MONACO IMMEDIATELY. THE RECALL BEGAN DECEMBER 8, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, A DEFICIENCY IN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MAIN FRAME RAILS COULD CAUSE THE RAILS TO CRACK AND AXLES COULD SHIFT, CAUSING THE FIFTH WHEEL TO PULL ERRATICALLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER OF THE TOW VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND ADD AN ADDITION OF GUSSET PLATES AND CROSS TUBES TO STRENGHEN THE AXLE SPRING HANGERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 29, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
