DT: 2005 HOLIDAY RAMBLER 36SKQ PRESIDENTIAL. THE SUPPORT HOLDING UP THE STRUT BROKE FREE, IT WAS NOT WELDED IN. THE OTHER SUPPORT WELDS CRACKED AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE TWO TIRES WERE RUBBING TOGETHER ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THE MANUFACTURER SENT A MECHANIC, AND IT WAS REPAIRED ON SITE. ALL FOUR SUPPORTS WERE THEN WELDED. ON OCTOBER 12, 2005 THERE WAS A SHORT OVERLOAD IN THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONNECTIONS. THEY REPLACED THE CONNECTOR'S AT ALL FOUR WHEELS. *AK UPDATED 1/19/2006 - THE BRAKE PROBLEM RECURRED ON NOVEMBER 24 WITH A SHORT AND OVERLOAD MESSAGE ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. *NM
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: MONACO IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 26, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
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.
