2005 SCEPTER, WINDSHIELDS ARE INTENDED TO KEEP OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD ALSO SUPPORTS THE ROOF THEREBY PRESERVING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND KEEPING IT FROM COLLAPSING AND CRUSHING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. SEEN FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE OF PERSONAL SAFETY, ANY DAMAGED WINDSHIELD THEY REPLACE SHOULD BE REPLACED PROPERLY AND SAFELY. NOW THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TWICE ALREADY AND THE GLASS REPLACED FIVE TIMES .NOW IN NEED OF ANOTHER WINDSHIELD AND MORE STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS! WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE SAFE SEEING THAT THIS CAN NOT BE RECTIFIED WE ARE NOT GOING TO COMPROMISE OUR SAFETY ANY LONGER.. AND SHOULD WE? I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH MONACO CORP. SEEING THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 100 OR MORE RVS WITH ONE-PIECE WINDSHIELDS CONCERNS ME ..OUR RESEARCH ON WINDSHIELDS SHOULD BE A CONCERN. NOT JUST A LITTLE SANDING OR CHIPPING AWAY OF THE FRAME AND SLAPPING ANOTHER WINDSHIELD IN . I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MANIPULATING THE STRUCTURE . THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ENTIRE SRS IS BEING COMPROMISED. THIS IS NOT FIX FOR ME .THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY ON GOING PROBLEMS THIS COACH HAS . *JB
ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SYSTEMS' AQUA-HOT AND HYDRO-HOT WATER HEATERS, WHICH USE WEBASTO BURNER TUBES, THE BURNER TUBES DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST TUBE EXITING FROM THE HEATER CAN INCREASE AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS (BURNER TUBES) WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE WATER HEATER EXHAUST ON THE CURVE SIDE WALL UNDER THE BACK SIDE OF THE KITCHEN SLIDEOUT ROOM BOX TERMINATES UNDER THE SLIDE BOX WHEN IN THE EXTENDED POSITION. THIS DESIGN COULD CREATE A RISK OF MIGRATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE MOTOR HOME.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXPOSURE OF THE OCCUPANTS TO CARBON MONOXIDE COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WATER HEATER WITH A 16 GALLON ATWOOD UNIT THAT HAS A DIFFERENT EXHAUST TERMINATION. THE RECALL BEGAN MARCH 25, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED WITH OPTIONAL AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATERS, THE EXHAUST TERMINATION FOR THE HEATER WAS LOCATED UNDER THE BEDROOM SLIDE OUT, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED BEYOND THE PERIPHERY OF THE VEHICLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR FUMES TO ENTER THE COACH AND POSSIBLY ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES TO VENT INTO THE MOTOR HOME, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS.
Remedy: FOR THE 2003 MOTOR HOMES, DEALERS WILL USE THE EXISTING PIPE FROM THE AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATER, AND REPAIR IT SO THAT THE END TERMINATION WILL BE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MOTOR HOME. FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MOTOR HOMES, DEALERS WILL ADD AN EXHAUST PIPE TO THE EXISTING EXHAUST SYSTEM FROM THE AQUA HOT HYDRONIC HEATER. THE ADDITIONAL PIPE WILL BE INSTALLED SO THAT THE END TERMINATION WILL ALSO BE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MOTOR HOME. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 27, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS ENGINES, OIL CAN LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FROM A CRACK IN THE CUP PLUG.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: OIL LEAKAGE ON A HOT ENGINE CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURIES.
Remedy: CUMMINS IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. CUMMINS WILL INSTALL A STEEL CUP PLUG BOSS CAP TO ALL AFFECTED ENGINES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CUMMINS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-343-7357 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
