RELATIVELY NEW GOODYEAR TIRES (22,000 MILES), INFLATED TO 116 LBS PER MFG INSTRUCTIONS. SPEED 65 MPH. 33,000 LB MONACO MOTOR HOME. TRAVELING EAST ON INTERSTATE 59 IN MERIDIAN, MS, LEFT FRONT TIRE ON 38 FT MONOCO MOTOR HOME EXPLODED. CROSSED CENTER DIVIDER AND WESTBOUND LANES OF I-59. NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR BLOW-OUT. MOTOR HOME RECEIVED SOME DAMAGE. REPLACED TIRE AND CONTINUED TRIP AT MUCH REDUCED SPEED. APPROXIMATELY 150 MILES FURTHER IN SMYRNA, GA, RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. AGAIN TIRE PRESSURE 116 LBS, SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH. VEHICLE HIT GUARD RAIL CAUSING MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR BLOW-OUT. THESE TIRES WERE THE SUBJECT OF A GOODYEAR/MONACO PRIVATE RECALL DUE TO "USERS REDUCING TIRE PRESSURE TO OBTAIN A BETTER RIDE". THE SUBJECT TIRES WERE INFLATED TO FULL MFG RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. GOODYEAR REPLACED ALL SIX TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WITH NEW HEAVIER DUTY TIRES AND STATED, "MONACO USED UNDER RATED TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE". CONTINUING PROBLEM: THE NEW HEAVIER DUTY TIRES THAT GOODYEAR HAS BEEN PROVIDING ONLY HAVE 3/8" CLEARANCE FROM THE REAR VEHICLE SUSPENSION. THERE ARE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF THESE MOTOR HOMES WITH BOTH THE OLDER "UNDER-RATED" TIRES AND NEW HEAVY DUTY TIRES WITH MINIMAL CLEARANCE ON THE ROAD AT THIS TIME. *LA

A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT COVERS SUN VISOR FELL INTO THE DRIVER'S LAP WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR MAY FALL NEXT. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS POORLY DESIGNED. ALSO, DRIVER COULD NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARD WAS NOT VISIBLE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS.*AK

CONSUMER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLS BACK. MR. *JB
MONACO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD REFRIGERATORS. A FATIGUE FAILURE IN THE SECTION OF THE COOLING UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE REFRIGERANT COULD ALLOW THE LIQUID SOLUTION TO SLOWLY LEAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXTENDED OPERATION OF A LEAKING COOLING UNIT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GAS WHICH MIGHT ESCAPE.
Remedy: MONACO IS WORKING WITH NORCOLD TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS. NORCOLD WILL PROVIDE THERMAL SWITCH KITS TO OWNERS ALONG WITH THE NECESSARY FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 29, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NORCOLD AT 1-800-767-9101 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
ON CLASS A MOTOR HOMES BUILT WITH A STEERABLE AUXILIARY AXLE AND EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN MERITOR-WABCO BRAKE SYSTEM TWO AND FOUR PORT RELAY VALVES, THE VALVE MAY STICK OPEN WHEN A HIGH-PRESSURE BRAKE APPLICATION IS RELEASED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE VALVE STICKS OPEN, IT CAN RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF AIR FROM EITHER THE SERVICE OR THE PARK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DRIVER MAY LOSE BRAKING ABILITY UNDER A SERVICE APPLICATION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE VALVES. MERITOR WABCO IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MERITOR WABCO AT 800-535-5560 OR MONACO AT 1-877-466-6226.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES BUILT BY AM-SAFE. ON SOME SEAT BELTS, THE BUCKLE AND CONNECTOR MAY UNLATCH DURING A COLLISION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT IS NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LAP BELTS AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW BELT ASSEMBLY. AM-SAFE IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AM-SAFE AT 219-266-8330 OR MONACO AT 219-862-7211.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES PRODUCED ON ROADMASTER CHASSIS. THE WATER PUMP CONTROLLER CANNOT ADEQUATELY HANDLE CURRENT LOAD WHICH CAN RESULT IN OVERHEATING OF THE PUMP CONTROLLER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CREATES A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD A WIRE HARNESS AND RELAYS TO RELIEVE THE OVERLOAD POTENTIAL FROM THE WATER PUMP CONTROLLER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 29, 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.
