I OWN A 2007 MODEL HOLIDAY RAMBLER NEPTUNE MOTORHOME MANUFACTURED BY MONACO COACH CORPORATION. I READ A SERVICE BULLETIN IN A CAMPING MAGAZINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR TRAILING ARMS ON MY MOTORHOME WERE FAILING DUE TO INADEQUATE STRENGTH. UPON READING THIS, AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DETERMINED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRAILING ARMS REPLACED. MY MOTORHOME SHOULD STILL BE UNDER THE FACTORY CHASSIS WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE OF BANKRUPTCY IN 2009 THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THEREFORE THE $3,000.00+ EXPENSE FELL ONTO MY SHOULDERS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A COMPANY CAN JUST FILE BANKRUPTCY AND THEN JUST WALK AWAY FROM ANY BAD PROBLEMS THEY MAY HAVE HAD. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WAS INJURED OR WORSE BECAUSE OF SOMEONE'S STUPIDITY. I HAVE RETAINED THE OLD TRAILING ARMS IN HOPES THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE WILLING TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE EXPENSE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SITUATION AND SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THIS IS HURTING FINANCIALLY AND PROBABLY PHYSICALLY. *TR THANK YOU

THE RV WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT BOTH TRAILING ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAD FRACTURED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20500.

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH ATWOOD SEALED BURNER RANGES, THE RANGE AND SLIDE-IN BURNER TUBES LEADING FROM THE GAS MANIFOLD TO THE BURNER HEADS HAD A DEPRESSION OR 'KINK' IN THE EXTERIOR BEND RESTRICTING PROPER AIRFLOW AND GAS MIXTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
Remedy: MONACO IS WORKING WITH ATWOOD TO HAVE THE TUBES REPLACED ON THESE RANGES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 14, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ATWOOD AT 1-800-348-7418 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, AN INCORRECT SCREW WAS USED TO INSTALL THE BLACK AND WHITE CRT BACK-UP MONITOR IN THE DASH. THE INCORRECT SCREWS ARE 1/4" LONGER THAN SPECIFIED AND MAY CONTACT A PC BOARD INSIDE THE MONITOR WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY HIT A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT ON THE PC BOARD OF APPROXIMATELY 10,000-13,000 VOLTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE SCREW MAKES CONTACT WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRACER ON THE PC BOARD AND SOMEONE WOULD TOUCH THE SCREW HEAD WHILE THE POWER IS ON, AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR CAUSING INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BACK-UP MONITOR TO VERIFY THE OPERATION OF THE MONITOR FREE OF CHARGE. IF THE MONITOR IS OPERATING PROPERLY, THE REPAIR WILL CONSIST OF REPLACING THE INCORRECT SCREW WITH THE SPECIFIED SCREW AND TESTING FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF THE MONITOR IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY ON INITIAL INSPECTION, THE MONITOR WILL BE REPLACED USING THE CORRECT SCREW. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 9, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 877-332-9239.
