NHTSA recall 04V038000
Suspension · MONACO COACH CORPORATION
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorhomes, the i-beam leaf imitator in the front axle suspension could crack and break due to an inadequate welding process.
Why it matters: The i-beams on the front axle and the panard bracket on the rear axle could crack and break causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the original i-beam. Also, dealers will weld the stiffeners from the panard bar bracket to the center differential of the rear axle housing. Owner notification began March 1, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
