I own a 2002 monaco cayman motor home with a crack in the trailing arms which I will have to get fixed out of pocket. This should have been done right under recall 05v053000. I only learned about this thru family coach magazine. When I called a monaco & holiday rambler dealer ,they had not heard of the problem. From the internet there has been serious problems with this. These coach owners should be notified as well as dealers that may have these units on their lot. Source mfg.(541)9350308 has a fix for this problem if you need further info. I hope this ignored problem does not cause any deaths or injuries.
