2007 Safari Coach Simba Diesel problems

What is wrong

Certain class a motor homes lack the required jounce clearance between the rear wheels. The tires may rub on the flat panels that enclose the holding tanks area and the screws which secure these panels may rub the inner sidewall of the rear dual tires.

Risk

If the screws continue to rub the inner rear dual tire, it is possible that there could eventually be a tire failure. A tire blow out could result in a loss of control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, if the vehicle is run on a flat tire, this could lead to a potential fire in the wheel well area.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the rear dual tires and cut out an area of foam from the inner wheel wells that will be replaced with a piece of ABS plastic formed panel and an angle to seal the area. The recall began on january 23, 2008. Owners may contact monaco at 1‑800‑685‑6545.

Recall number 07V404000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain motor homes, an incorrect screw was used to install the black and white crt back-up monitor in the dash. The incorrect screws are 1/4" longer than specified and may contact a pc board inside the monitor which could potentially hit a high voltage circuit on the pc board of approximately 10,000-13,000 volts.

Risk

If the screw makes contact with the high voltage tracer on the pc board and someone would touch the screw head while the power is on, an electrical shock could occur causing injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the back-up monitor to verify the operation of the monitor free of charge. If the monitor is operating properly, the repair will consist of replacing the incorrect screw with the specified screw and testing for proper operation. If the monitor is not operating properly on initial inspection, the monitor will be replaced using the correct screw. The recall began on february 9, 2007. Owners may contact monaco at 877‑332‑9239.
