Recall number 08V257000 · Recall details

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailerReported May 8, 2003
What is wrong
On certain motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim, these refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Risk
If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. 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 norcold service center at 1‑800‑667‑3005 or monaco at 574‑862‑7211.

Recall number 03V166000 · Recall details

StructureReported September 9, 2002 · 6,223 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain class a motor homes, the floor truss network support system has a potential to weaken causing internal and external features to become misaligned. The affected vehicles are 1999 - 2003 class a motor homes manufactured on f53 20,500 pound gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), ford chassis, and 2000-2003 class a motor homes manufactured on w-22 22,000 pound gvwr, workhorse chassis.
Risk
Conditions can result in the bottoming out the suspension and amplification of the stress placed on the floor truss network. The additional stress can result in the fracture of welds securing the floor truss network system to the chassis frame rail and/or fracture of the floor truss network support system. The possibility exists that there could be damage to electrical wiring and/or fuel lines which could potentially lead to a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the floor truss network support system, reinforce the existing structure, and repair, as needed, the floor truss network support. Owner notification began november 5, 2002. Owners should contact monaco at 1‑800‑685‑6545.

Filed Oct 15, 2006 · Visibility · 42,600 miles · TN

Moisture between insulated pieces of window glass became increasingly worse until we can no longer see our mirrors. This is on a 1999 holiday rambler admiral motor home. We tried to dry the window with a hair dryer which did not work.we had to remove the insulation seal between the panes to try to remove the moisture. That has left a dry surface but we can not see out the window. We have to keep the window open and the passenger has to look out the window to safely make lane changes or turns. We contacted holiday rambler to get the window mfr. And were told they had gone bankrupt. Have there been any other complaints regarding these windows? It is the front slider windows.

While driving about 60 MPH passenger's side michelin tire blew out. Consumer was able to pull to the side of the road, and called road service, which came and changed the tire. Also, consumer called michelin, who told him that it was possible that he was riding on a tire with the pressure too low. Service man told consumer that running these tires with the pressure too low causes the side wall to weaken, and the steel belts to break.
